Artist Statement:
My work deals with issues of memory, loss and the slow erosion which time brings. I am informed by the nameless cities, alleyways, dive bars and homeless asleep on benches
I seek to remember those that see the loss and those who exist in it. My work is an unearthing of the stratification of our world's decay, and its historical, physical and social remains.
