Artist Statement:
I have two distinct bodies of
sculptural work: Mixed media
sculptures that explore socio
environmental issues and
figurative ceramic pieces that
explore how emotions transform
over time.
In my mixed media work, the
forms, placement, and surfaces
of the materials are altered
to convey symbolic meanings.
It’s the metaphorical
relationships suggested by the
interplay of the materials
that interests me. Anther way
of thinking about it is to see
the materials as like the
words in a poem. Each word has
a unique meaning, but its
meaning can be altered by how
it is used or its relation to
other words.
In my figurative ceramic
pieces I look at different
emotional issues people
confront throughout their
lives such as loss and regret
or devotion and hope. I use
clay for figurative work
because of its durability and
history. My intent is that
each figurative piece will
become a sort of intimate
repository or touchstone that
will survive generations; and
become a relic or artifact.
My two dimensional portrait
works are studies of people’s
psychological state as a
result of their emotional and
social worries. I lean toward
using oil pastels, graphite
pencils and the dry point
etching technique...
