Cardboard Studio
My sculptures are the results of a lifelong passion for the re-purposing of found objects and materials. Having grown up on a California dairy farm, nothing was ever wasted. Making my own toys with whatever was available graduated to the construction of art from whatever was free, or at least cheap at yard sales, influenced heavily by the California Funk art movement in the 1970’s and ‘80’s.
My current focus is on sculptures inspired by my interest in life forms we are finding in the deepest parts of the ocean. They are made of cardboard, scavenged from the back of appliance stores, in combination with natural materials and paper mache.
