Artist's Statement
In creating my sculptures, it is the wood that speaks to me. Bodies also speak to me. They are both flawed, and reveal and conceal much of what lies within them. They may seem unharmed on the outside, but inside time and the stresses of living are taking their toll.
I carefully choose my materials and models by looking at their inherent surface beauty and flaws, but more importantly their hidden language.
The excitement of discovering that which is not apparent, and then having to rethink, change my mind, make mistakes; leads me to wonderful moments of creativity.
My installations and paintings are reactions to popular culture and current events.
