My current work is founded upon a concern for the environment as well as social and political issues. With this in mind, I begin with shredded recycled newspapers and magazines that are mixed with a slurry of reclaimed clay. This becomes my medium of choice to recontextualize contemporary issues inspired by articles in the same recycled newspapers and magazines. My ideas are brought to enduring form by turning the newspaper pages into the pages of books, globes, mechanical components and the human figure. I use these four recurring elements to comment on the impact of information, technology, knowledge and globalization.
