Artist Statement
My current work explores process, texture, and form. I use stone, steel, cast bronze, and fiberglass resin with found objects periodically making an appearance. Sculpture is very tactile, feeling the tools cutting and forming the materials, seeing the forms emerge. Bio-morphic forms are a ground I return to with journeys of thought into the organizing/disorganizing principals of contemporary life. With sculpture, I explore motion, tension, and curiosity.

There is an image component I explore in each of the sculptures. These works use the language of abstraction but are an attempt to fix fleeting ideas in material form. I think of them as paradoxical thought experiments that might throw light on a post internet context.

My artistic influences: Barbara Hepworth, Henry Moore, Louise Bourgeois, Tony Cragg, among others.
