"My work focuses on deteriorating architecture. I see an inherent honesty in the face of my subject. These man-made structures, designed to be huge forces of permanence, are now collapsing in on themselves. Among all of the clutter—the shards of wood and layers of rubble—there remains a gentle resolve. It is as if the buildings were content with their circumstance. As I work, I study these structures incessantly. They are on the brink of ruin, yet appear dignified in their state. Something very energized and present is trying to escape out of a slow history of abandonment."
I discovered this artist when i decided i would create the theme of "Broken home". I decided this style of work was similar to my artist but also differed, the collage links well to another artist i have studied Robert Rauschenberg, who works with layering piece and works with collage. I thought this style of work showed "Spill.drop.break" because it was broken up and distressed and showed decay, but was still pretty, as if the piece was trying to hide something. "Broken home." Isn't always obvious in some cases and these pieces reflect that.
