- Abstract:
-
Exploring relationships between found and accessible objects, my multimedia sculptures and installations are inspired by multicultural iconography. Using maxim, stories and myths, I express my unique vision of both found and collected materials and transform them into sublime forms and patterns. Via my artistic process of play (collecting, assembling, deconstructing and repurposing), I meditatively make artworks that express a strong understanding of the relationship between my collected materials and socio-cultural traditions. I offer materials that are otherwise neglected a chance for a new life by creating an uncommon purpose for them.
