Trash, consumerism, by-products of man's mark on the environment, is destroying it. I salvage vinyl street banners before they are discarded into landfills. As powerful starting points in my process, I retrieve the words, colors and images as I cut, slash, crunch and weave the vinyl into three dimensional objects. Through the action of deconstructing, I attempt to restructure, and transform the material in artistic ways to create a healing force in the enviroment.
