At Craft Ontario Gallery until May 2, 2015
Artist Statement:
"On the one hand, there are our desires and yearnings; on the other, reality. And in between there is a wide gap filled with our very human day-to-day struggles while we live, work and play. Dreams and reality bumping up against each other manifest in odd juxtapositions, quirky coincidence, and endearing fumbles. My current work reflects my interest in exploring our adaptation as we wander around - mostly lost - improvising in this rocky terrain. I contemplate our humanity and find beauty amongst the overfamiliar artifacts of our, particularly pop, culture."
