Crushing Nickels Into Quarters

In my series of work, Crushing Nickels Into Quarters, I draw from imagery of 1980s video games, Meso-American architecture, and Minimalism to make sculptural work in reference to times of transition and change. Using clay, I give material to the immaterial by creating monuments to the signposts in my life. Through my work, I seek to connect to others who have had similar feelings arise out of experiences of great upheaval and change.
