Artist Statement:
I've always been profoundly
interested in the human
figure, and in the
representation of dynamic
motion. My sculptures,
drawings, and paintings
revolve around these basic
concerns, fussing the
undistorted, non-truncated
figure with various abstract
forms. I'm mainly influenced
by the Renaissance, Abstract
Expressionism, and pure
abstract sculpture such as
that of Arp and Brancusi. It
has long been exciting to me
to think of the beautiful
draperies of a Raphael
painting, or Michelangelo's
drawing of the risen Christ,
as fused with their figures in
a seamless integration.
Similarly, I wish to see a
beautiful Arp sculpture
flowing with a beautiful human
figure.
My strongest inspiration comes
from music, especially
classical, and most especially
Beethoven, though I am
extremely fond of many other
forms and composers.
