Artist Statement:
My work allows me travel far from this mundane, serious everyday world into an absurd environment where anything is possible and nothing has to make sense. I see my pieces as nonsensical creations that often times strive on contradiction and absurdity, misplacing recognizable objects in a surreal landscape.
