I began as an artist working in clay - casting the result in bronze. Over time as the work became thinner and more linear, I transitioned to working directly in metal. This freed me to create more dynamic and open work.
As
humans we have all the forces of the world within us (material, plant,
animal, etc.) and I embody these dynamic forces of nature in my work. I
want to create sculpture that has life, not by copying nature but rather
by creating work that feels alive, a calligraphy of life. My creative
approach is intuitive like nature itself. I create through a process of
discovery through making, a form of travel. I have a conversation with
my materials, consider their potential energy, and lure out of them the
dynamic forces of nature. I allow the work to evolve, probing shapes,
investigating its capacity to change. I seek to reveal the nature of the
material, allowing it to take on a life of its own. I want to make metal
dance. In addition to multiple gallery shows, I have completed over 20 public art projects worldwide in locations as diverse as Abu Dhabi, Florida, California, Belgium, and China. All of my projects have all come in on schedule and to great acclaim from the shareholders. |
