Artist Statement:
My figurative sculptures are
investigations into how humans
interact socially and within
personal relationships. They
are reconstructions of the
emotional and intellectual
mechanisms that people use to
cope every day. My objective
is to suggest memory
narratives and psychological
connections.
Myths and fairy tales, family
and friends inspire my
characters. Some of the
figures emit various toy
sounds when certain buttons
are pushed, pulled or
squeezed. The work involves
taking apart found objects,
combining human and animal
forms. The tactile materials
such as Raku clay and stitched
fiber come together and become
a hybrid of the old and new. I
find that these elements
highlight contradictions such
as humor and fear, beauty and
decay, the antique and
contemporary.
