I transform found objects into creative constructions arrangements of ancient fragments that speak of wholeness as they are reduced within the context of the present.
I work predominantly in wood, copper and plaster. Wood is used as a metaphor for the flesh and the altar like constructions are transformed into the figurative by simple enclosure. The geometric shapes symbolize the physical body in which something non-physical is centrally enclosed and in which something non-physical is centrally enclosed, floating and gestating.
In searching for answers on what it means to be human, I have questions. My work is a meditation upon these.
