About me

Location	Salt Lake City, UT
Introduction	I make things mostly for the pleasure and necessity of a human experience. I am as much influenced by the materials I use as I influence and manipulate them. In this way the objects are both made and found. I begin and then see what is returned and then continue and expand. It becomes personal in that the act of layering, breaking down and building up again is very human and very like life. It is analogous in a small way to the times in life when our experiences culminate in something truly beautiful and meaningful. This experience, for me, is cumulative. I like to think of choreography because its composition exists in time and our experience with it accumulates. My work exists in time for me as the forms and lines are more a function of process than of product. It is not didactic. While parts make up the whole, it is not about specifics but about environment and experience.
