My work is the culmination of modern day hunting gathering and the reclamation of treasure trash. Rummaging through cast-offs; hand-picked collections slowly form and a year later a sculpture is complete. In this process of re-discovering culture in all that is left behind I can become aware of history and pre-history, of the possibility of mega-fauna, of eating turtle soup 12,000 years ago, or of the innumerable uses of knapped flint – found in an eroded hillside by a thrift store parking lot.
