Artist Statement:
My concern has been
primarily with the ability of
vague objects to become
functionally androgynous while
remaining interesting and
informative. The information
I seek to pass on deals with
the objects that I interact
with on a regular basis. They
are the bits of visual
knowledge that are gathered
inside a distinct region--tied
to the context of that
particular area. For this
reason, studying my
surroundings and its contents
is an important part of my
research. I continue using
fabricated steel, forged
steel, and cast metals as
primary sources of structure
and form, however, I believe a
mixture of unexpected
materials can be introduced
thoughtfully to play as
interesting
juxtapositions--especially
when the idea calls for
non-traditional usage. There
are no lines, for me, between
iron, wood, bronze, clay, or
rope. They are material--with
which we explore round
thoughts. ...
