Fascinated primarily by what most people consider to be dated and obsolete remnants, I have been driven by a desire to preserve an element of the architectural past defined by pursuit of remembrance and transcendence.

For the past few years, I have worked with discarded windows from demolition sites.

Windows are the eyes of the soul of the culture. The window by its very nature is a frame of existence and reality (reality being a subjective individual perception/reaction). Perceptively, a frame is also one moment in time in a filmstrip, this plays well with my artistic concept with windows. I freeze, within the “confines” of the window, imaginary “memories”, selective images, textures, shapes, and objects to introduce a sense of moment, time, emotion and existence.
