Artist Statement:
Archetypes...Myths...Rituals.
I have long been intrigued and
fascinated by these concepts.
In my sculptures, both
figurative and abstract, I
employ these aspects of a
collective unconscious to
evoke an emotional state
within the viewer.

In my figurative work, my goal
is to capture the myriad
changing state of the human
condition through subtle
changes in facial countenance
and body language. The end
result shows how the inner
condition is expressed by the
outward form while also
conveying a sense of this
expression transcending both
time and history. In my
abstract sculptures, I have
recreated the numinous quality
of subconsciously shared
images, stories, and
ceremonial rites. The
sculptures, themselves, are
composed of abstract forms
that are covered with a rich,
textural surface. The end
result is a complex organic
piece that evokes a sense of
ancient artifacts, of
ritualistic objects from some
unknown culture, or of
imagined landscapes.

However, be it figurative or
abstract, my ultimate goal is
to have the viewer feel a
sense of familiarity with the
work...a sense of having
experienced this before. I
believe this feeling of déjà
vu arises from both the
collective unconscious and a
mystical center we all share.
