Artist Statement

I think of my creative work as an attempt to make thoughts visible through an evocative and poetic dialog of expressive materials, visually dynamic form, archetypal & often community-based subject matter, and slowly emerging content. My goal is to make inventive sculptures, often in the public realm, that respond to personal & community-based histories, dynamics, and contexts while utilizing and stretching my personal aesthetic vision and sensibility.
