Artist Statement:
My work comprises both
abstracted and figurative
imagery executed in a variety
of mixed materials, with stone
being the predominate medium.
Other materials used (usually
in conjunction with stone)
include foundry cast metals,
carved and joined wood, cast
and fabricated plastics,
cold-worked and kiln-formed
glass, cast and carved
hydraulic cements, cast/formed
paper, welded/fabricated
metals, gilding, and
found/assembled objects.
The more abstracted imagery is
worked in pedestal pieces,
large freestanding sculptures,
and in wall-mounted relief
sculptures. The figurative
lip series is usually
presented in wall-mounted
reliefs, deep shadowbox
framing, and occasionally as
either a pedestal piece or a
large freestanding work. The
most recently begun series of
work comprises pedestal-sized
pieces using the imagery of
the ship or the boat hull.
Each series or each type of
work allows me to express
aspects of the human condition
- the more abstracted works
tend to reveal a more
universal emotional/rational
characterization of subject
matter, the lip series tends
to allow sensuality, humor,
and more visceral expressions,
while the ship series delves
into personal/cultural
memories and emotional
journeys.
Though the majority of my work
explores themes of personal
discovery, I also do
commission work - ...
