Artist Statement

My art-making is an intuitive process of following where the work leads me, letting go of what I think it ought to be or could be and letting it become it’s own object, occupy it’s own space, say the things that I don’t or can’t say. Physical work with materials, the tactile quality of sculpting -- constructing an object, heat-forming acrylic, steam-bending wood, welding and bending the steel structures -- offer private communication between the object I am creating and myself.
