Artist Statement:
We are the mirror as well as
the face in it.
We are tasting the taste this
minute of eternity.
We are pain and what cures
pain.
We are the sweet cold water
and the jar that pours. Rumi
As suggested in Rumi’s poem,
my style touches on the
dichotomy of life and spirit.
I enjoy the aesthetic play of
contrasting extremes or
opposites. The contrast of
concept or object and
materials is a favorite theme
in my three dimensional work.
I am also interested in
exploring the psychology of
the self, my own aging
process, gender roles and
expectations, as well as the
social psychology of politics
and religion. I admire Linda
Ridgway’s work. She casts
bronze into very difficult and
very feminine forms, such as
lace table cloths and
crocheted clothing. She
beautifully executes themes
addressing domesticity and
gender roles by using
materials that suggest the
masculine in forms that
decidedly suggest the
feminine. Similarly, in my
latest work, I construct
feminine or domestic objects
from unlikely and often
distinctly masculine
materials. While I always
start with a general idea for
my work, I often work
intuitively and am led by
materials, circumstances,
current events, or...
