Artist's Statement
My materials are an excess of fuel. Yet from these materials new meanings form as I use them in experiments continuously relating found, fabricated, and raw elements. I have been casting wax into ramps, wheels and heads from thrift store candles. I also use tuning forks, as an acknowledgement of the transfer of energy between the opposing forces of gravity and friction during performances. The act of tuning for me has been a synaesthetic development merging tonal composition with atonal sculpture. Also used in medicine and electronics, tuning forks are said to have a healing effect on humans and machines. I tune my objects to heal, balance, and test their opposing vibrations. Like the christening of a ship with champagne, using the tuning fork is a celebratory gesture of a new composition.
