I was inspired a few years ago by the amazing work by Tunga, a Brazilian sculptor whose work incorporated mixed media. I had been working with the ceramic lace forms and these works were developing with the addition of painted rebar. His work reinforced my decision to move in a mixed media direction, working with materials that supported the conceptual ideas I wanted to convey. Since then, I have been incorporating new textures and materials and taking a more installation approach.
