Alchemy Project. 2006 - ongoing. Mixed media. Exhibited in Macy Gallery Ceramics Exhibition and Art From Detritus Exhibition.Alchemy Project. 2006 - ongoing. Mixed media. Exhibited in Macy Gallery Ceramics Exhibition and Art From Detritus Exhibition. This project of fragmentary objects classified and organized is called "ALCHEMY." It utilizes recycled glass and plastics that my urban community (friends, coworkers, maintenance staff, etc) helped me to collect over the course of several months. This sculpture is composed of a found box, recycled plastic beverage lids, recycled glass, hot glue, copper flakes, and fragments of porcelain and stoneware sculpture - both glazed and unglazed. The individual plastic containers are to be arranged by the viewer-participant in nearly infinite configurations. As an educator, i would encourage folks to borrow/try out such processes in their own art and/or students' projects.

Exhibited in Adelphi University Faculty Exhibition and Art from Detritus Exhibition.For me, this project evokes castles, fairy tales, and mythologies, as well as archives. It is made from all the papers, memos, and other printed matter that became irrelevant over the course of one year. Using just a blender, window screen, and torn paper, it is possible to create this very thick and textural sculptural material.
Autobiography Box. 2009. mixed media.Autobiography Box. 2009. mixed media. "I admired you for years from the safety of the other side of your books, from behind your pages.When I became your student, I knelt before you like a child, like a follower - when you asked who exactly I was.I tried to explain myself cleverly, stumbled to remember the word "alliteration", and felt myself fragmented:i was a toddler begging to be looked at truly looked at and not able to hold your attentioni was myself, a stupid graduate student awkwardly trying to be clever and i was you, a frail but fiery person unable to smooth out the anxiety, the futility the terrible mediocrityand yet not quite able to look away."

In Adelphi University faculty exhibition.Over a period of several months, I recycled colorful wiring into small baskets. Using yarn, wood, beads, and ribbons, I braided and twisted the baskets in a hanging weaving. The work addresses saving, collecting, and keeping.

Glory Box. 2009. Exhibited in "The Ecstatic" - Curious Matter Gallery.Glory Box. 2009. Exhibited in "The Ecstatic" - Curious Matter Gallery.Glory Box is named for hope chests (otherwise called "glory boxes") in which unmarried women once packed precious objects in anticipation of married life. In this case, the precious object within the box is a form not unlike the vagina itself. This work addresses the interesting and problematic nature of virginity and female sexualities. I created a flowery form in the clay that was rich, drippy, and full of eggs. I wanted to enclose it in a surrounding space that is glistening and glittering. Indirectly, this work reiterates and responds to questions of feminists like bell hooks and Gloria Steinem of how we can envision empowering and liberatory female sexuality.

Delicacies. 2008. (Ladle, fork, spoons.) Found objects and fragments. Exhibited in Dia de los Muertes Exhibition, in private collection.This work addresses the passing on of precious objects, memories, and other morsels through families. With precious tastes of spoonfuls and forkfuls of food at ornate and mundane celebrations, rituals that include keepsakes, secrets, and stories are also “fed” to us. To me, these delicacies are anthropomorphic, and perhaps are like a little family. As surrealist objects, these works might ask how costume jewelry fragments correspond with Meret Oppenheim’s fur-covered cup and saucer (in response to Pablo Picasso’s statement that one could cover nearly anything with fur. I also think that notions of the “silver spoon,” heirlooms, celebrations and birthing/generation may be lurking.
