**Asian Cultural Council Fellowship Recipient 2009
Beginning with material reality, I take familiar objects I encounter and recombine them into sculptures and installations. I construct wider meanings from the found materials and events in my life, finding the uncanny aspects or details of my physical surroundings that can be recombined to reveal the social issues within daily life. I begin with things considered commonplace and make decisive changes to arrive at more complex readings. I believe meaning can be culled from the personal objects we use, the materials we leave behind, and the neighborhoods we inhabit. I'm concerned with the individual's struggle on a day-to-day basis; the politics and the humor that make up everyday life.
