Description:

Artist Statement:

I create sculpture and environmental installations with architectural and organic structures and forms, often site-specific and in exterior and interior spaces. The formal and primal qualities of architecture, archaeology and evolution and the effect of human hand on earth’s materials are all elemental in my art. My work references architectural, social, and geological changes and I try to capture that dynamic in my drawings as markers of memory, experience, and a very personal gesture of ideas and images.

I am more interested in the spaces and metaphors created by the sculpture (object) “occupying” the space, rather than the object itself and so the dynamic with the viewer becomes paramount, evoking physical and emotional response to the work.

I use wood, paint, fabric, glass, metals, existing architectural elements, solar and LED lighting, construction materials, recycled and found objects, and natural elements such as blocks of salt, logs and branches, stones, water, light and darkness, and sound. There is a social and cultural aspect to collecting and using these materials and a narrative emerges in the work.
