This collection of works includes sculptural pieces that borrow from domestic, decorative, and functional objects. All of the forms and subjects aim to raise questions about what we buy, our assumptions of “good” and “bad” taste and how these are all markers of social and economic status. Many pieces incorporate the wall or utilize high relief elements as a way to connect back to the two-dimensional works and to create a larger visual vocabulary. Intense color choices and maximal decision making fuels the confrontational quality and questions of beauty and taste as it operates culturall and historically.
