Statement

In my work I target and frame elements that define and affect understandings of identity. I utilize abstraction as my work's voice because of its potential in mapping associations between reality and the layered realms of mental and emotional awareness.

Sculpture is my primary discipline. The physical body serves as the form within which humanity's understanding of "self" resides. I think of my works as bodies, entities echoing this state of being while also independently participating in it.

I source a range of influences: music, faith, philosophy and social concerns. I intuitively manipulate media: found objects, clay, plaster, metal, marks, through techniques of sculpting, assemblage, layering and blending to produce my compositions.
