ARTIST STATEMENT

I believe the term negative usually connotes something bad, less than or unfavorable. With reference to my art and a good chunk of life experience, negative can become beneficial. How we handle difficult times in our lives reflects on individuals and societies in total. 

My sculptures are a study of the relationship between positive and negative space, giving equal significance to both.
