Artist Statment

I strive to make metal seemingly more malleable. I continue to examine the dynamic between the masculine and the feminine, and work to create a tension between the material and the subject. This examination has lead to a body of work demonstrating that metal can be transformed from its conventional attributes. This study continues to lead me in new directions with metal.
