I'm
facinated by forms as they exist in space. Seeing a volume next to an edge,
constructed on a plane that rolls gently into a new form, all working together
in visual harmony, is an incredibly engaging experience for me. Gathering these
forms together in a successful composition is the challenge that continually
keeps me excited about making sculpture.
The figure, as a subject, is something that I have always responded to. I love looking at the great figurative works of the past and present. Observing the evolution of materials and how form language is passed from one sculptor to another. Often my ideas come from art history, mythological, or biblical themes, using them as a guide to explore fresh form possibilities and new personal interpretations. Throughout my work, my goal is to achieve visual strength and elegance while striving for an intuitive modeling result. Balance and unity are words that I would use to best describe my images. When the material, forms, design, and subject combine together in such a way as to create a unified whole, I know that I have created a successful piece.
