“My community and collaborators, my descendants and their all-but-lost traditions, as well as my neighborhood and its trash piles, are all integral to my life and art. My pieces incorporate my worldview and the beauty of what people have left behind over time and its subsequent decay. I rely as much on the loving and careful meticulousness employed in making handicrafts as on high art techniques. Taking something as ordinary as wood pulp or cloth and passing thread through it can result in a beautiful and useful object. Art, for me, is about making living sacred.”
