​Assemblages

I am a gleaner.
I harvest materials, color, pattern, and environments; all discovered through a compulsive gleaning season. I am continually gathering and don’t remember a time when I wasn’t. My studio is a packed nest of all these objects and resources, waiting patiently for the time when their attributes have a role to play in the final expression.

These small assemblage creatures hold their own stories of wonder and weird. They speak to bygone museum-gathering practices in which creatures, great and small, were "gathered" for display and the Renaissance Wonder Room collections of category-defying creatures from the natural, and perhaps, not-so-natural, world.
