“Art is an opportunity to explore our relationship to life and death. I attempted to channel that exploration, finding beauty in things finished and unfinished. As greenware “Mother” is a living sculpture embodying life and decay, she is a personification of nature that will eventually crumble with age. Each piece represents aspects of our aliveness becoming other, from the lightness of Mermaid, to the decay of Mother, and the stillness of Skull study no. 1.”

These figure studies are meant to encourage the viewer to provide his/her/their own narrative whenever they view them. Spinning Out is a multi-figure study. The two figures can be placed together or apart. Something’s Happening Here was suggested by the Buffalo Springfield song “For What It’s Worth”. It is intended to suggest that moment when we recognize that something sinister is happening. The Weight is intended to suggest the effect of the burdens we carry.

“Our focus changes when we view two people in a relationship versus a single. In the diorama series, after sculpting the traditional studio nudes in a pose. I explored their placement in different settings and lighting and how that changes one’s perception of the interaction between the sculptures and with the environment, which is significantly different than a gallery or museum setting and becomes a type of artwork in itself.
The pillow with pillowcase is a drapery study showing how the fabric folds and the underlying pillow shape deforms beneath a heavy glass bowl.”
