I have always had an interest in architecture and in environmental sciences. I studied both fields in my undergrad and through this shared experience I developed the tendency to think about systems and cycles and how those relationships effect the world at large. This has greatly influenced my early work which began with collecting waste materials from dumpsters and turning it into functional pieces of art and furniture in my first studio space in North Philadelphia.
My current work is an expansion of that early idea - the compulsion to solve a problem I saw in the world. Everything that exists will eventually be discarded back into the ground. Even through all of the upcycling, recycling, reusing, repurposing and all the other “sustainably” buzz words used today, these materials will still become waste in a landfill inevitably. The solution is to never create waste in the first place.
