I make sculpture that comments on current American culture and politics, by creating sign-like sculpture, and more recently, cast-resin objects, and sculptural installation. By combining disparate symbols, icons and objects into a piece, I attempt to capture the complexity of political and cultural debate. Politicians, the media and other cultural actors rely on iconic images and symbols to capture immediate attention, and to appeal to a particular segment of the public. These complex, coded messages are often intentionally ambiguous, and are meant to appeal to as wide a group of people as possible. I take these symbols and recombine them in ways that raise questions about, and directly comment on, contemporary American culture.
