Artist Statement: Frustrated by my over-consumption and production of plastic and paper waste from food and product packaging, I 'upcycle' my trash to create abstract sculptures that reference the body. By using waste as building blocks for sculpture, I offer one alternative to throwing trash into a landfill and hope to inspire others to think of waste as a raw material.
