Conceptually as well as visually,  the sculptures are inspired by my interest in the evolution of pictographs and ideographs into the modern alphabet. To build these sculptural wall pieces I reconfigure found objects and bind them together with painted waxed linen thread. The work is fabricated from wooden cast-offs such a scythe handles, called snaths, parts from a shoe factory rack, cello pegs, canes, glass eyes and weaving shuttles.  The sculptures project a hands width from the wall cast shadows on the wall above and below.
