In this body of work entitled “Transfigured,” I looked closely at the way nature takes back what mankind has made through a process that is both amazing and beautiful. With watercolor paintings and mixed media constructions, I pay homage to nature's process of transfiguration achieved through rust, decay, age and decomposition. Old wood buildings, rusted items on the salvage pile, and miscellaneous found objects have long intrigued me. I find these things strangely elegant and in re-interpreting them through a piece of art, I hope they are "transfigured" yet again.
