My early work explores the connections between memory and the body's senses. By using the body's senses, particularly the sense of smell, memories can be triggered allowing the viewer to reconnect with the past. The works are reliquaries for intangible individual events and experiences. Pieces like Rounding 2nd, Heading for 3rd and For that close shave without the burn distill specific memories from my youth. The smells of perfume and aftershave act as mnemonic devices that trigger similar memories in the minds of the viewers.

Similarly, in works such as Cap shooters for a C.E.O. and A boy, his bike and the All-American sport, the senses again recall the youth of a typical American boy. Theses works use toys such as cap guns, bicycles and baseball cards to trigger the viewer's memories, evoking feelings of nostalgia for their youth.

My current work expands on this idea of childhood, exploring its relationship to masculinity, and the mid-life crisis. The work uses childhood pranks and toys reinterpreted as high-end adult toys. The appearance of each piece affords the object a level of authority, convincing the viewer that each piece is the result of years of industrial research and development for actual products. At the same time this authority is subverted by the absurdity of each piece's function. For instance, the piece entitled S.P.I.T., which functions as a spit-wad shooter, is extremely detailed, exquisitely crafted and constructed of precious materials. These eclectic toys are meant to comment on the absurd lengths men will sometimes go to in order to recapture their youth.
