New Work 2011-2012
My recent body of work has been focused on the exploration of discarded materials found on the streets of Atlanta and how these materials can be utilized to create a connection between the forgotten/past to the new/now. By using found/salvaged pieces of wood, discarded furniture and other objects of personal interest, I am creating works that have direct connections to the neighborhoods of Atlanta while also referencing ideas of gentrification, object history, cultural wastefulness, and hidden beauty.

Most recently this body of work was displayed in a two artist exhibit with painter James Bridges at Barbara Archer Gallery organized by Dashboard Co-op
