Artist statement
My work reflects my personal experience of architecture and urban design. I spend a lot of time looking at and photographing details of buildings and architectural landscaping, to use as source material. In my current work I am interested in how art is often integrated into urban design at all levels, from public art commissions to architectural features and municipal street landscaping.
