ARTIST STATEMENT
My work is founded on the principle that the
simple pose or gesture of a figure has great
communicative and expressive power. I am
interested in translating, as opposed to imitating,
the figure to suggest embodied human experience.
I aim to develop my figurative sculptures into
more abstracted forms through an exploration and
deconstruction of space, movement, form and
plane using a broad range of processes and
materials like modeling and casting with metals
and constructing in timber to express how it feels
to be in a body.
I am currently focusing in on the exciting
avenue of Site-specific sculpture. Responding to
spaces intuitively and exploring natural and
architectural sites is a strong focus for my
sculptural work. When the sculpture not only
responds to, but brings a site alive, a dynamic
relationship is created between the viewer,
artwork and surrounding environment.
