THINGS IMPORTANT TO A BOY SERIES
Seemingly insignificant items, such as a screw or bolt, are important objects found and held in a tiny hand or a tiny pocket, not to be left behind or forgotten at any moment. As significant as a teddy bear, screws and bolts are given a name .“Dukes”, and take their place in the hierarchy of a child’s world.
These items are illustrated in the grid of graphite drawings titled “Things important to a boy”.

COLLAGE ON WOOD PANEL & PAPER - overview
Created using felt, burlap, colored film and paper, these collage works experiment with reductive shapes to portray modern landscapes. The vibrant pink, orange and yellow colors are inspired by beach life and beach toys, the materials used to make them, and the feeling it evokes when you see them.
