I have always made studies and models for larger works out of whatever was at hand, usually cardboard boxes. Eventually I came to regard these forms as finished objects in their own right, and began making sculptures that were intended to live only as cardboard, temporarily out of the waste stream. The colorful surfaces are expressive of both my personal life, based on what I consume, and of the culture in which we live, based on what and how things are marketed to us. I find our fragmented and oversaturated visual environment both beautiful and repellent.
