Artist’s Statement

Little bottles, keys, small animal bones, trinkets, game pieces, bottle caps.
On and on. The list is long.
I pick up small treasures from the ground.
I dig through bins at resale shops.
For objects that hold history, small moments, everyday lives.
I imagine the lives.
The people who touched them, used them, cared for them.
Their transformation over time.
I work to honor their past.
I work to add them to the present.
I place them in my work.
To become timeless, layered, and altered.
Past and present to create new definitions, connections, emotions.
Connect me to you. My life to your life. My making to your knowing.
