For a long time I've been a pop-fusion recyclist – reclaiming cast-off materials to repurpose and rework culturally, graphically, and functionally. Cardboard, junkmail, Betty Crocker recipe cards, microwave cookbooks, bills, polyester ribbon, duct tape, and floppy disk organizers, fill and ornament my sculpture. This accumulation of life’s everyday everything, the potpourri of instant obsolescence, is transformed back into sculptural relevance (magic). Using a layering process of tape and paper, a unique and organic form develops – recycling and reinterpreting civilized waste back to life. It's primitive. It's trash imitating art imitating nature. It's a rainbow made of tape.
