Artist Statement:
Embodying the tension between
stasis and impending movement,
my work reflects a refined
balance of positive and
negative space while
simultaneously existing as
reductionist, self-referential
form.
In my artistic process of
exploration, blending emotion
with form, I allow the work to
evolve, probing shapes,
investigating their capacity
to change. I seek to reveal
the nature of the material,
allowing it to take on a life
of it’s own.
I'm continually looking for
that special moment when a new
sculpture comes to life. When
I first arrive at something
new, something that I sense as
true, the sense of recognition
I feel is like meeting a long
lost friend, someone you knew
long ago in a far away land,
the memory of which is like
smoke in a mirror.
I use stainless steel,
weathering steel, and bronze
for their natural surface and
permanence and their
maintenance free ability to
withstand weather extremes.
When using mild steel I either
leave it black and oil it, or
paint it red. These materials,
though different, all carry my
forms well..
