"I aim to examine and understand the people in my life. I choose objects with a history, form or function speaking to an aspect of my relationships and work to distill those experiences. Through casting, I remove all specific history of the individual objects shifting attention to how the objects are used and what they are doing rather than where they came from. I hope my work might move the audience to pause in self-reflection and to perhaps grow to understand their own realities in a new light. " - David Gibbs
