“Salvaged objects have an unspoken history and memory in their very substance. Transforming them into a novel form and context does not negate this history, but rather, envelops it into a deeper layer of the aesthetic language. There’s an inherent feeling of familiarity that one can’t quite place. While I rarely have a specific vision for found objects’ end use, there’s a feeling, a pull, an inherent pulse and intuition driving me toward their continued existence in new abstract constructions”.
