I use found object materials that I find in thrift stores to express my idea which is a spontaneous one depending on what I find in the shops. I build on my original concept with more objects and maybe paper mache and/or paint until I reach a finished point.  I use objects that are contrasting in nature to bring out my intended artistic message; for instance to contrast eroticism with innocence, or humor with a serious issue. My artwork sometimes protests social injustices and very often communicates feminism and liberal viewpoints. My artwork may include spirituality in its subject through Judaic symbols o ritual objects.  I like to use children’s toys or decorative figurines in my small sculptures. I sometimes hook up electrical lights or battery-operated machinery to my pieces to add another dimension of light, movement, or sound. My art is 3-dimensional, using a full palette of colors in mixed media on a variety of materials such as metallic surfaces, fabric, glass, paper, household objects, etc.   My art is meant to communicate to the viewer; to persuade and change her/his mind, to question the authority of the existing status quo, and to alter the viewer’s perception of what art is all about in the first place.
