I drift through open-air flea markets, yard sales, thrift stores, and sometimes the junk people leave outside under "for free" signs. Searching for objects and antiques that capture my interest, which hold memories of people, places, and times untold. Drawing inspiration from the nostalgic feelings emanating from the objects, I create altars, shrines, and assemblages for them to be sheltered and cared for in perpetuity. As altars of a religious nature give ordinary objects significance, I strive to do the same for the treasures that I find. Memories, the occult, mysticism, magic, tradition, and dreams are all present in my thoughts on borrowed nostalgia and invented spirituality.
