I am attracted to the way she builds up spaces, creating multiple layers of visual information to echo the complexity of the man-made environment. She combines images of construction material along with actual construction material, conveying the overwhelming nature of human activity. Her work takes on a life of its own, forming into menacing organisms that seem about to come off the wall and floor and devour the viewer. I also enjoy the way she employs light in the later installations.

I have followed her work since high school, finding great inspiration in the flowing forms of her installations and the level of detail in every visual inch. I enjoy the microcosmic aspect of her work, finding myself falling into a universe of minute, every-day objects of mass quantities: pencils, rulers, light bulbs, zip ties and countless other useful things for which she creates a totally new purpose. Her works speak of the infinite floating in space, even as it all hangs on fragile strings and seems on the verge of collapse.
