My background with jewelry shapes both the materials and meaning in my sculpture. Intuition drives my process, and my work circles around themes I keep returning to: the passage of time, the parts of ourselves we struggle to articulate, and the way memory distorts our relationships, with others and with our own pasts. Each piece is open to interpretation, and what you bring to it matters.

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, certain forms and shapes that may seem familiar are 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.
