I use objects with a history to construct funky combinations of the characters and events from my life. Many are based in the techniques of the tailor and lifestyle of livestock.

“In its old sense the verb ‘bricoleur’ applied to ball games and billiards, to hunting, shooting and riding. It was however always used with reference to some extraneous movement: a ball rebounding, a dog straying, or a horse swerving from its direct course to avoid an obstacle. And it is in our time the ‘bricoleur’ is still someone who works with his hands and uses devious means compared to those of a craftsman.”

-Claude Levi-Strauss
