Momentarily 
There is an ever-present, yet always changing still life of a sort that occurs on my kitchen table.  The set-ups are brief and temporary – the top of the table becomes a site for staging a take-out dinner, grocery bags, and the daily mail.  Quickly, these objects exit the stage and are discarded.  However, these disposable objects can also suggest a different sense of time.  Immediately after their intended use, they become useless and disposable.  But, as materials, they often last longer than their intended lifespans. 
I am drawn to man-made objects that we surround ourselves with, especially when they subtly suggest a contradicting sense of time that seems both temporary and lasting.  In this body of works titled “Momentarily”, I use objects and their materiality to explore a sense of time and place that is both momentary and timeless.
