The three media in my work––found objects, cement castings, and paint––exist in the temporal and spatial muddiness of past, present and absent. I create a fresh casting formed from something now gone—a ghosted imprint of a 7-Eleven food tray, a blanket or a door. This indexing takes what was once an object and forms it anew as a cold gray image: its text, texture and form re-presented so we may see it as if for the very first time. The found object–typically something discarded, worn or fragmented–retains evidence of a past life: the rusted and bent shovel, the food stained high-chair, or the battered mop handle. The sprayed paint encounters the cement as it is now, at various low angles, hitting the ridges and casting half-toned shadows over other colors, visually distorting the topography of the surface. The color infuses the cold lifeless cement with a glow that visually connects the sculpture to vibrant flowers, phone screens and workout clothes. The finished works are an enigmatic hybrid, pulled from the detritus of our daily lives, translated into a mix of painting, photography and sculpture.
