My work deals with relationships. These relationships are the interactions that take place between forms within a work as well as between the work itself and the viewer. The forms themselves combine aspects of the human body, such as a rotund belly, a long neck, or an open mouth, and shapes found in nature, particularly twisting intertwined tree branches and balancing rock formations. My pieces are hollow. The space inside the works becomes the soul of the piece and the hole is the way for that life force to connect with the viewer. Interactions between the forms are important to me, as well as the way the pieces relate with and animate the space around them. What interests me the most is the relationship the viewer has to my work, whether it is physically sitting in a piece, standing close to see detail, or visually making a connection with memories in their life.
