Artist Statement
During the past twenty years, three different recurring themes have played an important role in my art making. One being a life long interest in the manifestations of nature on a micro and macroscopic level, sometimes referred to as the “anatomy of nature.” This study includes such forms as the helix, the torus, the sphere and crystalline structures. The second being the study of the “cosmos,” and the galactic bodies therein. A third theme involves my interest in archaeology, specifically “relics or remnants of the past.”
As a sculptor and printmaker, I present my own abstract interpretation of these themes and re-create them by utilizing opposing factors such as chaos and order, simplicity and complexity and gravity and balance. Illusion is also an important component of my work.
I play with elements in our natural environment. By capturing the essence of a geometric shape, a celestial body or relic I try to present a work of art which is both thought provoking and introspective. This work also provides a different way of looking at our environment and universe
