Art is communication
and my language is sculpture. I began my form making
with
figurative work and have progressed to biomorphic
abstractions. Still, I am
drawn to the linear gesture of the human
figure as it hints at the secrets of form
and reveals movement. My
sculptures have sinuous linear vertical emphasis counter balanced by
strong flat curvilinear planes and converge with the tension and
energies
of architectural mass.
As a sculptor I
manipulate three-dimensional forms: choreographing movement,
structure, form, light, and sound to express my vision of the world.
My approach to
sculpture is as a quest. All of my sculptures are titled
“Clockworks.” Clockworks are my attempt to understand and compile
accounts about the nature
of time. I use abstractions of steel and
light to exemplify my own impression of time.
My artistic
motivation is that of an inventor. Striving for simplicity, I
demand
harmony between the landscape and the cityscape with my
forms. My work is
place-specific as all the elements are considered
when developing a concept.
My sculptures have been described as
“having the presence of a stele – an
ancient maker, delineating not
so much a place or boundary but a state of being”.
