Living by sheer circumstance through events large and small, over time we envelope ourselves with the shroud of our cultural influences.

Through the filter of my own experience as a white female born in 1950's America, I explore themes of assumed entitlements, homogenization, marginalization and human obsolescence – social divides we've come to accept as normal cultural paradigms.

In questioning this acceptance, I recognize the insignificant – marginalized found objects and disenfranchised people. Driven by a desire to make right, the exhibition reflects my own handwork, but also orchestrates handwork of homeless individuals.
