Artist’s Statement:

That unexplainable phenomenon of TIME and it’s effects on every aspect of his world fascinates me. My ideas are inspired by the vulnerability of the human life cycle. If we are fortunate enough, each and every one us will experience infancy, childhood, puberty, re-productivity, middle-age, old-age, and the quiet certainty of death. The objects I create are made from a variety of materials: sometimes reflecting the fragility of the subject itself, other times balancing the weight of the subject matter with a humorous perspective.
