"My work stems from an experience of an increasing lack of compassion amongst human beings due to economic and social pressure. I attempt to bring to sculpture subjects and methods with which I have affinity. By using needlepoint, plaster, stone carving, and bronze casting I mean to draw attention to different types of labor.
The psychotropic drugs I carve are being widely prescribed. The use of these medications enables a lack of compassion in the user. Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors exert a form of behavioral control which envelops the user in an architecture of artificial calm eradicating the highs as well as the lows, a form of emotional constraint. A denial of external causes of depression, the onus is placed on the patient to get well."
