ambiguous implements

Ambiguous Implements is a collection of assemblages uncertain of their origin or intention. Manipulated by the artist’s hands and previous unknowns, the materials exist between a state of making and being made. Assembled together they become artifacts of the blurred differentiation between human and natural actions.

Catching the Ephemeral

Catching the Ephemeral is an assemblage of that which is not static or solitary. It is a manipulation of the artist’s hands and previous unknowns, blurring the differentiation between human and natural actions. There is an intentional ambiguity to the origin of the materials and their current state of being, suspicious of the beauty and value that is implied through interactions.
