ARTIST STATEMENT
I enjoy shredding and cutting up images of commercialism and consumption and placing the colors, designs, images into new contexts adding layers from the trace DNA retained from the source and reconstituting the purpose of the material into a new destination of my message, one of expressing diaspora and subversion of the patriarchy.
