ARTISTS STATEMENT

Various materials, whether shaped by industry or nature, enable me to translate their potential relationships as symbolic imagery.  When working with stone, I referenced Greek Mythology. With steel, a playful exploration of space through a formal aesthetic was facilitated. Currently, I am working with mixed media that often evoke totemic and fetishistic imagery.

My sculptural influences have been eclectic; from Sumerian reliefs, classical mythology to Asian and tribal cultures. Twentieth Century influences have included Noguchi, Caro, Duchamp, and Beuys.
