Artist Statement
I collect objects that have been dropped or discarded but still seem valuable to me in some way. I bring these objects home thinking they might find a place in the things that I make. Sometimes they do, but more often they become part of an inventory of shelved experiences.
Brief Biography
I was born in Winnipeg and have lived there my entire life. I have spent much of that life on university campuses – first as a student, then as an employee, and recently as a student again. For 25 years my passion and profession was based in analog photography. I have taken many photographs, maybe too many, or maybe too many of the wrong kind. A longstanding interest in three dimensional work has led me to pursue my current interest in both sculpture and functional ceramics.
