Artist’s Statement:
Sculpting art with environmental
themes and earth’s own materials
inspires me and seems to create a
sense of healthy connection with life.
My art reflects what I am mulling over
in my head, or want to explore and
share with others.
By recycling materials and redefining
content or purpose, scrap metal gets a
new life as sculpture. Now, I might
ask, what would that furious storm
look like in steel? In fiber, clay,
or vines? What if a form kept growing
or flowing into an uncontrollable mass
of exaggerated movement? Translating
ideas into sculpture calls attention
to some curious concepts, promotes
awareness, or invites us to connect
our thoughts.
