Scrapingby is a method of art making and standard of life I choose to live by. there is something simply beautiful amidst the natural cycles of growth and decay which drives me to create in my own creative processes. by using what is available or considered to be scrap, recycled and cast off material, my role is to reintegrate these parts and pieces into a new life, if only temporarily, before time reveals itself in the next layer of patina. in this sense, nothing is ever finished.
