I continue to have an immense appreciation of the value of art’s function as a narrative and to raise awareness, generate understanding and inspire empathy. My art form is assemblage, sometimes referred to as anti-art. It is a means to express opposition to accepted attitudes of society, to provide a public voice. Discarded objects are transformed and assigned a new meaning to create a sense of mystery. It challenges the viewer to read and interpret the art, to relate the symbols to another human’s feelings, experiences, and values.
