ARTIST STATEMENT

Color, texture, shapes, and lines are the elements that allow me to abstractly express myself. I can be moved by a simple combination of color and texture or the interplay between pattern, shapes and scale. Visually, I am often inspired by the rough and ragged aspects of the world - those that have withstood the battle against time, space and the natural elements.

Creating one-of-a-kind art pieces from used bicycle parts allows me the opportunity to highlight the unique beauty in what others might deem ugly or garbage. With my bike assemblage art, I aim to celebrate our incredibly vibrant Twin Cities bike culture while finding a new creative life for the reclaimed and upcycled bike parts collected from my community members and local bike shops.
