Artist Statement:
I believe that the female form
is a paradox; a mystery that I
choose to explore. Both sexual
and demure…graceful and
strong….the feminine shape is
a timeless ambiguity that all
can relate to. Wives, sisters,
daughters, mothers, lovers:
every segment of society has
some notion of femininity. My
goal is to explore this
legend: this power of female
sexuality.
My chosen medium to represent
the female form is wood. I
believe that wood is the most
beautiful substance; it is
both natural as well as
sensual. The flowing
topographical lines and curves
of wood, as seen in various
grains, inherently emphasize
the natural beauty of feminine
curvature. Wood also perfectly
expresses the qualities of
sensuality: while hard and
strong, it also can be both
soft and warm.
Wood is organic; an innate
part of this earth and who we
all are as people. However,
wood is also rich and
varied…creating a natural
paradigm of originality and
creativity.
Each piece of wood was chosen
for the inherent character it
represents. Each
log…tree….branch….knot brought
out a specific form. No human
models were used in these
pieces, the trees itself were
the inspiration.
