Artist Statement:
Figurative sculpture and
architectural wall relief.
I want to show an object and
what the object is about, tell
a story, give it context. I
started making clay perhaps
because it was so definite,
even literal. It can’t be
reduced beyond what it is, as
a painting can be described
simply as a flat planar field.
A sculpture is a formal object
described by that form, it is
rough or smooth, flat or
round, soft or hard, shiny or
dull. It is honest.
I alternate between abstract
and architectural pieces and
more detailed figurative and
narrative works. I’m
comfortable with the
combination and will see what
happens as my work develops,
but I don’t see the need to
focus on or eliminate one or
the other or even to combine
them.
My work basically comes from
and is about imagination. I
would be a painter in that a
lot of my subject matter is
painterly, but because my
medium is clay, I am a
sculptor. My work is sometimes
more abstractly formal, but
it’s still a lot about image
and narrative.
I want to tell stories but am
a terribly poor verbal
storyteller. But sometimes
things ...
