Artist Statement:
I love the poetic image and a
satisfying leap of
imagination. My work is
based largely on this premise
and for my mixed media
sculpture, I juxtapose
materials and language with
loaded objects (with an
existing identity or history),
much the same way a poet
juxtaposes nouns and verbs.
My work often references the
body, or suggests its
presence. I pull other
design forms from plants and
animals, but the resulting
effect is usually seen as
surreal, perhaps because most
of the work is made from found
objects. Even so, many of
my more successful works often
look like they grew or evolved
organically as opposed to
being manufactured.
I’ve often thought that my
found-object sculptures are
like surreal trinkets. They
might be evidence of an
unknown culture or someone’s
personal and private
collection of emotionally
charged objects. I am
inspired by the traditions of
Surrealism, Dada, and Arte
Povera.
As well as building visual art
works, I also write poetry.
I sometimes merge the two of
them and they work well
together. ...
