My work is a celebration of cardboard: its ubiquity and its malleable yet intractable nature. I've played with cardboard sculpture for decades, but it was really the shrinking of the world during the pandemic lockdown of 2020 that led me to simultaneously focus on the medium and deeply contemplate the mundane objects in my immediate environment. I started with shoes--mine and my daughters'--and then moved on to other things around me: dishes, fruit, hats, musical instruments, picture frames. These simulacrums of the stuff of our everyday lives are reflections of the power that objects hold over us through sentiment, beauty, or utility, rendered in one of the least appreciated and most abundant materials in our world.

I am available by commission to commemorate the meaningful, sacred, or peculiar objects in your life. Do you have a concept that can only be realized in cardboard? Let's talk!
