Artist's statement "Society’s relationship with technology is the primary concept being addressed in my work. The use of technology and our necessary, but potentially dangerous relationship to it is the focus of my sculptural practice. Within this, a duality of processes has arisen, one that contrasts fabricated with found objects; by applying these two modes of production to my pieces the complicated relationship between society and technology is referenced and further examined."
