​The experience of place lies at the heart of my art practice, which actually begins outside the studio. Walking through the manmade landscape, I’m drawn to curious structures and details: haphazardly patched roofs, the shadow cast by a broken shutter, mismatched sidewalk tiles, makeshift construction-site barriers, the outline of a former doorway, long plastered over. I photograph as I walk, capturing details like these as well as compelling image fragments: forms, angles, colors, patterns, textures, plays of light and shadow. The thousands of visual references I’ve encountered and photographed serve as inspiration for my cardboard constructions, but my working process itself is intuitive and improvisational. Starting with no particular form in mind, I combine cardboard scraps left over from previous works, allowing each newly added piece to build organically on those already in place. The unpredictability of this approach takes the work in unexpected and satisfying directions.
