As a young child, I was diagnosed with Tourette syndrome (TS) and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD).  As I have gotten older, it is evident to me that both of my disorders have increased in intensity, and I have found that my work revolves around the two.

Over the past year, my work has focused on childhood collections, religion, and the study of my own TS and OCD disorders.  Within all of my work, these disorders are very noticeable because of the obsessive repetitious use of  materials, which recently has consisted of superglue, wire, and collectable objects.

I'm interested in the deconstruction and alteration of space, as well as creating abstract imagery from the complete collections of different thematically chosen and kitsch-like items.  I'm also interested in my behavior and how it decides and controls the choices that I make.  In the end, I try to alter the original content and also add other visual and very subtle political touches.

I am fascinated by collections and collected objects. I am amused by the wacky relationships sprouted between collectors and their collected objects. I love that any silly lil’ ole object can become charged with meaning, h istory, sentiment and the authority to tell stories. Collections are spectacularly self ish sat isfactions that are classless and limitless. Rich, snooty museum collectors in search of obscure works of art and unemployed QVC shoppers looking for one more crystal unicorn are essentially doing the same things that I do—strategically collecting objects to organize and make sense of our surroundings through interactions with the material world.
