Many of my sculptures are inspired by celestial images of galaxies, nebulae and star clusters. The idea of creating art forms based on untouchable cosmic formations is intriguing and challenging to me. My current sculpture sprang from the question, “How do I turn an interstellar cloud comprised of, particles, dust and gases into a tangible object?” Through pondering this question, I invented a process of working that allowed me to capture these vaporous structures and turn them into gestural concrete forms. I often work with materials such as gauze, wire, Weldbond adhesive and color tints. I chose these materials, because I envisioned my works made up of fractal-like shapes that are colorful and opaque. Like an actual galaxy, I saw light shining through these sculptures revealing their multidimensional layers. All my art gives form to the formless dimensions of existence-all of life.
