Against objects, my concern is with the forces that allow forms to emerge.  Forces that give shape to forms.  Forces that form and de-form.  Art is the way I urge forms to appear, even as such forms may be celebrated with empty words or foreclosed from their very emergence.

Soil, metal, candles, security boxes, beds, pallets, photographs-- the things of my sculptures are indexes of people, movements, labor, life, bound up in processes that are difficult to unravel.  These forms are temporary, fleeting, they are moments in time when material is suspended in the middle of larger political processes.  With time, my sculptures will become something else.  

Cinema.  Time.  Space.  I tune to the frequency of water, rocks, mountains, insects, and animals as they tell us about our shared world.  Matter remains.  Somehow, it always remains.  I am committed to matter, to bear witness to what is left, to what is left behind, to what is lost, to what cannot or can never be found.
