Artist's Statement

   I find that my own sculptural aims revolve around mass, bulk, weight, in a phrase - ponderable form. For many years I've studied the figure using a range of exercises to develop my sense of touch. From these efforts and from my experiences carving, I realize that my work is founded on the human form, and occasionally, on animal forms.

    The subtle, quiet forces that inspire us are perhaps better left unstated but broadly, my aim is to create vital, life-enhancing forms.
