In much of my sculpture, I intuitively construct, carve and manipulate material, using formal considerations but mostly impulse. I create emphasized points of tension along with specified forms, that and in for psychological/emotional states, balance, memory and different relationships with(in) the past and present.

In my public sculpture I use mild steel to trace form, with applied color to convey feeling. Smaller gallery works contain mixed materials along with steel, in particular, wood, textiles, recycled plastics, and ceramics. I have been experimenting with mark-making on the surfaces of these materials by means of etching, painting and burning to further specify the forms.

Currently I am using photography and print, expanding the way I think about the structure we build and the structure we are. A sense of place and sense of existence are recorded through perspective and landscape by way visual directing and sub-framing.

Although my work appears largely non-representational, it does orbit a consistent theme. Certain forms and shapes that teeter on the familiar become personally symbolic and are often repeated. I also like to think of the material, the actual matter I manipulate, as a metaphor for how our memory and recollection of memory can change each time we enact it.
