Incorporating sculpture, installations, photography and video and by drawing on economic and political situations, this body of work investigates personal and public conflicts and confusions related to individual identity verses collective identity. Recontextualizing cultural source materials, including breakfast cereal, chewing gum, camouflage patterning, and cowboy spurs, I question our familiar associations with ubiquitous consumer products and mass media-generated images—exploring inherent conflicts within American cultural identity, the hand-made and the mass-produced, the permanent and the ephemeral, and notions of community and shared experience in contemporary culture.
