Artist Statement:
In my artwork I use ancient,
traditional, and invented
craft techniques to fashion
objects and installations. I
work intuitively, and most
often I avoid the specific in
favor of what I think of as
the general or universal.
For me, much of the power of
sculpture is bound up in it’s
physicality. The materials I
use include wood, found
objects, reeds, paper mache,
wax, seeds, etc. All have
inherent beauty and richness
of color, texture, and
associated references. Some of
the processes I engage in are:
collecting, sorting,
assemblage, woodworking,
basket-making, miscellaneous
crafts, and, sometimes a bit
of mechanical and sound
collage assembly.
Although my work springs from
a sensual & intuitive response
to form & materials, rather
than from a conceptual
orientation, I do have very
particular ideas about
meanings encoded in it. For
example, the grid & the
spiral, basic to basket
construction, represent,
respectively, a human
conception of order, and the
life force. This is a
combination of ideas that I
find essential, and endlessly
fascinating. Raw, wild nature
(the materials) meets cool
mental abstraction (structure
& process) and the imposition
of human will (the form and
function). To me,
basket-making embodies a
distinct & beautiful human
relationship to ...
