Artist's Statement

             Engaging the contradictions of life itself, modern challenging the ancient, and the resilient confronting the brittle. Bronze  is representative of longevity in opposition to humanity's perpetual fragility and brevity. Contemporary experiences, expressed through juxtaposition of hard facts and lyrical prose verdantly fuse together. A prevailing sense of motion, wind and water permeates my artwork, both an observation of the world in continual change, and a reflection of my personal cultural experiences, culminated through overseas travels.
