The surreal, the rendez-vous (as Duchamp expressed the impulse to select an object), and the idea that objects both found and fabricated are receptacles of meaning: all these notions come into play as components of a sculpture are shifted like pieces of a puzzle or furniture in a room.
 
Boxes, platforms, stairs and other objects stand in sort of a holding area until their roles are established. In each sculpture, the repetition of structures, scale and materials used offers various clues that hover between the model and the actual, never specifically quoting one time or place, but leading the viewer into a fictional place that holds untold secrets, the potential of knowledge, or evidence of absence or presence.
