Artist Statement
There is a curious deliverance to lamination, the process central to my work. Combined with the differentiation and re-assemblage of photographic images, lamination is both a repetition of, and a difference from, alienation. Parts of images go into the machine, get heated up, and come out enclosed, individualized, sealed off. Yet combined with other similar strata they form a three-dimensional dreamscape, separate from reality yet animated by its possibility.

My technique takes as its point of departure the photographic image isolated into its core subjects, whether those elements be objects, people, light or space. Once deciphered, I focus on how such elements can be rebuilt as sculpture, with depth and connection. Floating, separate, but bound and connected by that which separates, the result is both serene and odd, an interruption to the economics of plastics that bind, a laminated love that, though not supreme, shines on nonetheless.
