Artist Statement

I make sculptures and drawings. I work with wood, polystyrene, chicken wire, plastic, plaster, cement, plaster bandages, cardboard, enamel, oil, wax, acrylic, graphite, paper. The work is made through my investment in and love of form, color, materiality and physicality. Sculpture is a challenging medium to work in. It takes up space and, when confronted with, contests the body. It is a physical object that demands a dialogue. I direct it and then it directs me. It calls for attention. It is needy. I work for the continual exploration of its possibilities.
