Statement Schedule of Exhibitions Biography Artist Statement |
I like to create
large-scale replicas of consumer products, which I modify
or augment, as a form of social commentary. This
is my way of putting an idea or issue under a magnifying
glass to call attention to it and examine it more closely. |
