Artist Statement

I relate birds to renters. Birds are poverty jetsetters. They find a spot, build a nest out of existing material, and hope other birds, the environment or city planners don't come around and claim it. I have collected fallen nests for years. My friends and family bring them to me. I am most in love with the ones that are clearly a product of shredded paper fallen from a downtown corner, another packed with ratty tape from an audiocassette. These nests were my base and inspiration. My recent drawings are not the product of ornithology, but rather urban policy.
