ARTIST'S STATEMENT

Though there is some thread of unity that weaves through my work, I see each individual piece as having it's own content. I find inspiration in life forms, including the human figure, plus land and rock formations, the order of mechanization, the order of symmetry, the juxtaposition of contrasting elements and the inner character of mass.

I like to think that my work has a sense of timeless existence. That it has the capacity to attract as well as repel. That it shares it's sense of life with both nature and the mechanized world. I try to communicate the way I feel through my work. The way it makes others feel is partly up to them and partly up to me.
