sculpture.....
The beauty of form is the central theme in my work. An appreciation for the beauty and purity of balance is inherent in my art. My sculptures of single forms explore how a shape exists in a space and how it interacts with the light and shadows in that space; other sculptures examine how multiple shapes interact with each other, converging on or coming from a single point to create their own miniature universe. All of my work examines the balance between organic and geometric elements.
Although my art evokes elements of architecture, design and landscape, my sculptures are more archetypal in nature and represent an appreciation of natural shapes. There’s an organic quality to my work that’s evident in the curved, smooth textures of my sculptures, reminiscent of bone or stone. But I’m much more interested in light and shadow than in texture, and I tend to create objects in white or a single color because of their facility with manipulating light. I began sculpting in plaster both because of its matte quality, which works well with light and shadow, and also because of its soft, pliable nature which makes it easy to carve. My work has since evolved into sculpting with wire, bronze castings, as well as drawing as a way to explore new methods of creating volume and mass using reflective surfaces, line, and color.
