I am interested in unresolved tensions relating to the inevitability of change and the pull of tradition in popular American culture. Breakfast cereals, chewing gum, camouflage patterning, and Chevrolet hood ornaments among numerous other cultural source materials are recontextulized through a process of material transformations, scale-shifts, and reorganization—building upon our familiar associations with ubiquitous consumer products and mass-media generated images with new content. Inspired by the formal issues of modernism and minimalism and appropriation strategies of pop art and ready-mades, this body of work seeks to incorporate these art historical influences while exploring relationships related to the hand-made verses the mass-produced, permanence verses ephemerality, and notions of community and shared experience in contemporary culture. |
