I create sculptures that are both figurative
and abstract, moving easily between the two worlds; and I often use
unconventional materials, whether recycled or new. It is important
to me that the materials are tactile and that they have their own
beauty.
My images are often inspired by an emotional
response to a particular material. I see moments in time like a
snapshot, and the feelings or emotional impressions that accompany
them become the artworks. There is a secretiveness in wrapping,
concealing and tangling as a visual language. The viewer may choose
to untangle a meaning or not; because my real goal is to find grace
in the materials, and to make an object which is beautiful.
The exhibit title, “Hurts” refers to the many
injuries which every person experiences in life - emotional,
physical, psychological, societal and political. Hurts are
universal. Small or large, the effects remain with the individual in
some manner throughout their lives. The “hurts” cause damage, but
thy also teach and strengthen. Most importantly, they alter us in
some way with each experience.
