Artist's Statement

One reading of the work could begin from the idea that I wanted to create something decorative, invest it with a lot of time and effort, and end up with something beautiful, yet essentially worthless -- something that is usually discarded. A doily can do all that for me. In this sense, there are many other things in the world that are doilies too, but they just don't look like them.
