It is so easy to get distracted with today's life's pressures: work, family, politics, etc. that we easily lose sight of what's important. I believe that presenting contrasts is a way to "shock" us into waking up. Of reminding us of what is important. Old next to new, the mechanical next to nature; and geometric shapes next to the organic.

Using broken or discarded material, and presenting them in a formal way, it is my hope that from their humble origins, these assemblages transcend their humble beginnings to become objects of beauty. I call these pieces, "Foundlings".
