“My furniture is turning into sculpture. Since ‘coming out’ to my family last winter I have been reflecting more than ever about my childhood experiences. Each piece seems to be split down the middle with an equal focus on a love element and a utilitarian one. This body of work embraces my past as I enter into adulthood.”
