I embrace and cope with the complexity of life by creating sculpture. By altering and concentrating the experience of space and substance, I try to see more intensely, coalesce moments of clarity, and discover new means of expression. I work with a variety of materials to create environments and objects that engage the viewer in this discovery process.

The context in which I am working mediates the physical quality, emotional response, and significance of each piece. Many projects are closely related to the character and function of a specific site, and I often explore the convergence of actual, implied, and symbolic content to express social and environment concerns. Tables are set to serve natural resources; map vessels pour resources; a wishing well pulls the gallery into a vortex; a nuclear home hovers between cohesion and fallout; a hearth endangers a hunt.
