My work is a collaboration with selected objects I encounter and their past creators: a postmodern alchemy transforming their embedded meaning and forming new relationships. In the processes by which it takes on its shape, and comes to life, certain unanticipated opportunities are exploited. Amid a repertoire of reoccurring and transposable object parts, a developed rapport with the material, and an interplay of dialogue between the works, the elements of serendipity and surprise are allowed, striking a balance between accident or plan; chance or intention. The role the medium takes on is transformative: elements forming compounds. Brought forth from the unconscious mind, its recontextualized content is imbued with new meaning and emerging interpretations. The objects, taken out of their first frame of reference and repurposed into a quite different context, carry with them residual information.  Often accompanied by a degree of recognition and familiarity, they become assimilated into this other created language of forms and associations: brought together and formed as art object.
