We live in a convenience oriented society where everything that we eat can easily be bought from one super store, where what is typically offered is over-packaged, disposable, synthetic and so far removed from its natural origins that it no longer has any nutritional or spiritual value. The qualities that encourage us to buy- the colouring, enhanced flavour, the preservatives, the packaging and processing- are exactly what can harm our environment and is what ends up removing us further from the essence of life, in all of its intricacies.

The work that I often make is a visual, and personal response to consumerism in our society. My incorporation of grabbing hands on springs play the role of the consumer mindlessly taking whatever is placed in front of them. My use of textiles is meant to symbolize comfort, warmth and security. My use of sugar alludes to addiction and fleeting pleasures. The pillow pieces evoke the idea of royalty, religion and sacredness. By placing a shopping cart or a pile of candies on these pillows, I am satirizing the notion that consumerism is quickly replacing religion. By sandblasting or filling the glass, or through covering it with fabric or felt, and by playing on my use of respective materials- glass and found objects, price tags and plastic, felt and fabric, I give the viewer a reason to look further into a piece in order to discover more.
