My work reflects my anxiety about the pollution produced by our synthetic culture.   The effect pollution has on the earth's environment is the conceptual core of my sculpture and photo collage.   In my work, I combine elements of wilderness and the products of human culture.

The work is intended to simultaneously attract and repel, blending beauty and toxicity.   The sculpture conveys the destruction of glacial ice by oil.   The photo collage work seems natural but upon examination there is a false quality, a deception.   Human activity affects the earth in dramatic and insidious ways.

I am on a journey to increase my understanding of the wild parts of our world and how those parts can be destroyed in my lifetime.   Oil drives all the world's economies. the beauty of the glacier and the relentless production of oil are bound together in these works.

I think art should be ambitious.   My wish for mine would be to have a significant effect on the way people think.   I try to convey the overwhelming beauty of glacial ice and the ecological disaster of our oil dependency.
