Artist Statement:
I find inspiration in the history and narrative that toys have played in our culture. Toys have the opportunity to reflect culture through escapism and fantasy, while also representing values and beliefs. The works presented here are a fusion of toys from my past and a mythological story that brings new narrative to an old story.
