Finding Inspiration in Every Turn

Three techniques that have a special resonance for me at the moment are the use of acid to eat away at styrofoam (an image at once hopeful and haunting); the concentric arrangement of various materials around aluminum cans and loops of metal wire (evoking natural and unnatural cycles); and the use of metal grids—typically, a form of thin-gauge steel wire used to set concrete on construction sites—in order to visually divide and constrain otherwise chaotic/organic compositions, just as we carve up the riot of nature into clean lines.
