Artist Statement
The work I am sharing at Greenpoint Open Studios was made in connection with a solo show at Stephen Street Gallery, "The Last Time I'll Use Plastic." A 6-foot tall neon pink Holy Cross with 11 glittering, spinning wheels embedded with thousands of rhinestones, a small chair made of epoxy blocks containing 200 toy-sized fluorescent pink hot rods, and a pendant lamp covered in a rainbow swarm of Hot Wheels cars all reflect my interest in how the decadent, post-capitalist built world is wrought from, resembles, and ultimately returns to, the natural and spiritual worlds. A 3D video work features one of my original characters, an alter-ego wandering through a digital suburban environment while pondering questions of desire and existence.
