My current work explores the murky borders between technology and biology. They are alchemic experiments that portray both my attraction and repulsion with scientific trophies and prosthetic disasters. I choose to exploit the confusion surrounding what is considered cognitive or instinctual, living or nonliving, animated or stationary.

I find inspiration in the creative attempts of urban animals to adapt to manmade landscapes. I recall blurry childhood memories of myself playing in oil fields and waste sites near Friendswood, Texas where I grew up. I incorporate these images into my work such as dirt intertwined with trash and machinery and ants crawling over encrusted plastic. I try to find a contextual place for incongruous and homeless artifacts such as broken off toy parts, computer trash, transient plastic bags, and food containers. It is a way of cleaning. Although, I suppose that I am really not cleaning, I am searching for survivors.
