Artist's Statement

"I start with materials that are available to most hands—paper, scissors, paint, and glue— and set out to transform them into spectacles of the handmade. Central to this practice is a belief that this kind of work can communicate expressions of generosity through its visual abundance. It also seeks a dialogue with those attributes of our shared creative heritage where we do more than what is 'necessary' to things—we adorn." ~ Michael Velliquette
