"My work is intended to be playful and humorous, incorporating features such as propellers, wheels, wings, spikes, animal forms and toy-like parts.  In my current work, I explore collecting and preservation, the merging of mechanical and organic, and undiscovered species of the animal kingdom.  I am intrigued by old circus playbills advertising common animals as fantastical creatures.  The specimen collection I've compiled is from that fantastical world."
