You and Me
In this series of work titled You and Me, I utilize broken and discarded pieces of others. In the collection and amalgamation of these parts, I am interested in using unwanted pieces to transcend their original use. In working with many unknown collaborators, and the always evolving process, I am examining relationships and the way we affect and influence each other.

Everything in-between us, 2003
Ceramic and acrylic paint
site adjusted installation for space 10 x 14 x 20 feet
In this installation each of these separate forms are affected by the piece preceding and succeeding it, like a chain reaction. The organic shapes and colors are meant to recall those found inside the body. Through the interactions of these forms I am investigating how people affect each other and produce the reactions that make us who we are.
