Biography | Statement
|
I USE FORGED AND FABRICATED ABSTRACT SHAPES TO CREATE GEOMETRIC AND ORGANIC SCULPTURES. MY CREATIONS CONVEY THE IMPRESSION OF MOVEMENT AND LIFE. THESE IMAGES ARE INSPIRED BY ROCK FORMATIONS, THE MOTIONS OF WATER, AQUATIC HABITATS, ASTRONOMICAL PATTERNS AND LIFE CYCLES OF PLANTS AND ANIMALS. I FEEL THE SIMPLICITY INHERENT IN THESE FORMS IS BOTH INSPIRING AND BREATH-TAKING. I GREW UP SURROUNDED BY METAL WORKERS WHICH MAKES METAL A MOST NATURAL MATERIAL FOR ME TO WORK WITH. THROUGH THE VARIOUS TECHNIQUES OF METALSMITHING, FABRICATION AND WELDING I PRODUCE SCULPTURES THAT ARE INFUSED WITH NEON. THEY ILLUMINATE AN ENTIRE SPACE IN LUSCIOUS LIGHTS AND SHADOWS, BATHING AND EMBRACING THE VIEWER. THE ERUPTIONS OF THE METAL’S SURFACE REPRESENTS THE EMERGENCE OF LIFE AND NEON SPEAKS OF THE AWAKENING SPIRIT.
