My current work is inspired by historical ceramic, glass and metal artifacts and constructed from found plastic bottles.  I collect discarded juice, soda and water bottles, cut them into pieces and use the parts to create new sculptures. The original material is transformed from plastic trash into pieces that address issues of waste, history, culture and the relative value of objects.
