Artist Statement

My pieces are investigations in process and the interplay between form, color and material. While these modes can communicate unlimited ideas, I prefer not to assign any specific narrative or meaning to them.

I want them to be encountered absent meanings and statements. It feels more honest to me. I am not so concerned with the idea of making a point or statement. My objects are primarily investigations in materials and process and meant to inspire. To me they hold many meanings, that are ever evolving; they are personal and hidden. Why would I tether my objects to a single narrative when they pull upon a multitude. Absent a narrative, these objects act like conceptual shapeshifters, shaped by the viewer’s perspective.

I think of my work as a cabinet of curiosities that holds a vast and invisible realm where my reality runs uninhibited by the laws that govern our world: a beautiful, elusive realm whose mysteries continues to unfold. A world that can only be contacted through the two pass keys of fabrication and imagination.

For me, these objects elicit a memory of the divine creative space. And “beauty” is the hook I use to suck you in and remind you to look deeper and seek out what lights you up.
