In much of my work, I explore the ways in which artificial materials relate to the natural environment. Most of my installations are titled after the location in which they exist, because I see them as a way of altering a specific space or landscape. These places are still the same, but I change them by adding a foreign element. I am drawn to the way the natural elements such as air, light and water influence these manufactured objects, bringing them to life. I'm interested in the juxtaposition between the balls as perfect artificial spheres, and the forms which I create out of them; organic shapes that might resemble plant life, rock formations, eggs, cells, or the human body.
