Visual Art – Pittsburgh

I search for new potential life. I find, clean, preserve, combine & recombine bits from Nature…turning things into other things, creating new landscapes and creatures. Some of my ingredients are found, organic objects and some are created by me, such as architecture sculpted from clay. No life forms are harmed in the making of anything I do, to the extent that I have control over it. I do not use leather or fur and the bones I retrieve are from animals killed before I arrived. I am Nature's janitor. Further, I never use the corpses of animals who were intended for human consumption. To some, intention is everything. It is one of our super powers and can be aimed in any direction. This is the ultimate recycling: Nature's discarded life is brought back into the game, though in different clothing and via rules that I made up. I speak for the dead and the silent.
