WRITINGS

Artist statement

New Object’s Value > Sum of Currency Converted

As an Artist do you feel you are a contemporary innovator?

My work is an experiment in the concepts of value and adornment.  The Values Exploration process takes currency of defined value, distills it to graphic elements, then resynthesizes an object of much greater value.  How and why are these notes distanced from their face value?  Idea, concept, process, and labor create value.  Is this new, finished form a microcosm of industrial production? or a parody?

I force wearers and observers to reflect on the concept of adornment in our society.  One of the most conscious actions humans undertake is the decision of what to wear or not.  My work takes underlying materialism and makes it explicit, imploring evaluation from all sides in each social context.

It’s been a crazy summer.  I have been taking a industrial design drawing class at Pratt this summer.  But I am still working on things.  Here is a necklace that is in progress.

Here is an image of my in-process drawing 42 inches by 90 inches.  The Sunday posts have become a lot more random with this project.  This drawing process is very slow but hopefully the result will be worth it if it doesn’t go up in flames!
