Artist Statement:
Generally my work explores the
simbiotic meeting of the
sculpted and the painted. It
is a constant search for the
point where intellect molds
into three dimensional
objects. I often return to the
tradition of painting as a way
to sculpt my ideas. My use of
color is usually spare, flat
and specific. I think of a
word stripped from a line of
poetry. What inspires my work
is the tendancy to take away
elements in order to see what
is given in their place. In
these terms of imaginary
opposites I find that objects
or ideas are brought into a
state of isolated suspension.
What results is the work that
often resembles an unfinished
kind of story. My work plays
on that subtle and unfanciful
transient truth, and is mostly
a vehicle for the glimpse of
the viewer to initiate nothing
less than the awareness of
thought. ...
