Artist Statement
“Recently, a friend of mine shared a creation that had been made by her son in the car. This creation was an assemblage of small paper and plastic scraps that had been arranged into a landscape to house a miniature toy fox. This constructed landscape reminded me of the uneventful times of childhood…time spent waiting for adults to do the kinds of things that adults seemed to do. In these mundane moments, anything could become an improvised source of entertainment. Humble objects, for a short period of time, gained new value and purpose.

These photographs are constructed environments. Everyday found objects have been scanned, photographed, and digitally combined into new landscapes for small creatures to inhabit. These creations are reexaminations of the freedom and pure creation inherent in childhood play.”
