The Sculptural Experience
 

 
Embodying the tension between stasis and impending movement, my work reflects a refined balance of positive and negative space while simultaneously existing as reductionist, self-referential form.
 
In my artistic process of exploration, blending emotion with form, I allow the work to evolve, probing shapes, investigating their capacity to change. I seek to reveal the nature of the material, allowing it to take on a life of it’s own. 
 
I
'm continually looking for that special moment when a new sculpture comes to life. When I first arrive at something new, something that I sense as true, the sense of recognition I feel is like meeting a long lost friend, someone you knew long ago in a far away land, the memory of which is like smoke in a mirror.
 

I use cor-ten steel, stainless steel, bronze, and carbon steel for permanence and their varied looks. These materials, though different, all carry my forms well.
