Leftovers

what begins when something else ends? 

I often work subtractively using the bandsaw as a carving tool, during this process I find myself increasingly interested in the removed pieces accumulating as the originally conceived project becomes realized.  The Leftovers series pieces these otherwise discarded elements together creating small wall-hanging assemblages.   The act of building a renewed form from remnants stands in as metaphor for the potential of inventive regrowth given the increasing scarcity of resources.
