Food entering the body and the processes it undergoes after which is much like the flow of a golfball through a miniature golf course. There is no restarting once one makes the first move; anything in contradiction to this is a violation of the rules of the game. Everything after the first putt is merely a personal adaptation of the object to the environment which surrounds it.

At the base of the creation of my miniature golf holes is the process of foraging and scavenging. The materials I use are often those I can find in my immediate spheres of influence: classic children's videotapes from the basement, old stools, lampshades, cardboard boxes from the dumpster, packing materials, thrift store spice racks, and old yoga mats.
