These series incorporate found objects and materials. The objects that I choose to display or photograph are always symbolic of something, or of many things, depending upon the viewer. Sometimes I will go looking for a specific type of object, to convey a symbolism or emotion that I am feeling at the time. Other times I find objects in the least likely of places and when I am not even looking for them. Found objects are rarely new and have usually been weathered, corroded, or broken. The age and weathering of these objects helps to dissolve their original use and purpose, and strengthens their symbolic and iconic nature.
