Title: Me. We.
Medium: Assemblage sculpture
Dimensions: 15" x 14" x 32"
Artist Statement: My assemblage sculptures explore themes of time and decay using discarded materials to reflect the slow degradation of both the environment and human-made structures. Through repurposed fragments of rusted metal, broken objects, and decaying remnants—I create works that evoke the inevitability of entropy, and the beauty found in decay. These pieces contain objects such as a 1962 Magnavox Micromatic record player found in a rubbish heap in the San Bernardino Mountains; and weathered sheet music found blowing in the wind along a road.
In these works, I also draw upon the emotional resonance of music, particularly the melancholy that accompanies decayed instruments and forgotten melodies. I am reminded of the haunting lyrics, "And we sang dirges in the dark / The day the music died." These words echo the profound sense of loss and nostalgia that permeates my creations, inviting viewers to contemplate the interplay of memory, sound, and the passage of time.
