Artist Statement



From a philosophical standpoint, all that we perceive in the
world of form is an outer expression of an inner dynamic.
Though my work is predominantly figurative, I find it to be
the art of giving form to the formless; ideas, emotions,
relationships, events. These are by their very nature intangible
and essentially abstract, though they continually alter and effect
our physical reality. We read them through our intuitive
understanding of body language, much as snow blown about
on a winter’s day reveals the invisible movement and form of
the wind. To ‘clothe’ these subliminal qualities in human figures
and bring them forth in a sculpture, whether it be a simple
figure inspired by a model’s beauty or an allegory of our human
condition, is the basic goal and driving force in my work.
