12 year artistic relationship with Director, Carole Jones

My work has been described as being conceptualized abstraction. I focus on constructing objects on the verge of coherence.

 Each piece is a part of a greater experience.  By juxtaposing, condensing, and re-contexualizing incongruous elements, I deal with who I am and in turn create a dialogue of places and people I’m connected to. 

Over the last few years I have attempted to reduce forms.  I’ve made attempts to directly engage the observer in a emotional, tactile, and visceral level. 

My work is like an adventure.  I know my direction, but the process of getting to my destination and completing the conceptual an literal cycle is a challenge.  Bring the idea to fruition shapes my life; make the lows more palatable and the highs enhanced.                         SCULPTURE    Opening reception
