Sometimes I'm embarrassed to be an American






Within my work I transform the audiences' perception of the familiar and expected by altering the work to reflect a critical approach to our cultural paradigms. This transformation occurs with the use of materials and processes that are often contrary. Incongruity draws out the irony of the work and the elements of living are recontextualized to demonstrate the absurdity of modern day living. This cynical approach to the nature of our lives is however not without the recognition of the power of human dignity. Perhaps this attitude underscores the basic relationship we have to the comedic tragedies that are omnipresent in our lives.
