What's with all the holes?

Voids have been a consistent theme in my art for many years. Whether working 2- or 3-dimensionally, my art refers to the form of a container. More specifically, a container for living; however, these spaces are empty and evacuated of any signs of life. They are not luxurious containers.  Not necessarily a place you'd call 'home', but somewhere to survive. The voids embody an in-betweenness, a tension created by opposing forces. This repetitive reference to home-like structures symbolizes not just a transitional physical place, but also a psychological  space. Though inspired by personal experiences, this pursuit of the undefinable and the in-between is one shared by those who continually interrogate their surroundings and question the world.

“To live means to lack something at every moment.”
― Paul Valéry
