Dioramas of figurines and paintings on discarded chip bags explore the formative qualities of clustering; clustering as a way to invent culture, tribes, friendships and psychic interactions. Nostalgic consumer goods transform childhood memories into explorations for deeper truths. Arrangements of one-act plays or social gatherings of happy-meal toys are grounded while bags of Zapp’s and other painted chip bags float and hover in space as elements of a spiritual atmosphere.
