My sculpture has a strongly asian aesthetic, rooted in balance, with great respect for materials and their inherent textures. I try to elude the grasp of gravity, allowing rocks to float and metal to flow like water. From there I interpret visual gestures found in nature and astronomy such as swirling galaxies and the rhythmic movement of birds and fish. There are also references to the human figure and spirit. My figurative work, which is done in marble and cast bronze depict people transformed by circumstance, altered by contact with life beyond themselves. I use cast and carved concrete with blackened wood as my earthbound elements, while forged bronze provides fluid motion. The materials however are just the tools I use to help me achieve my ultimate goal, which is the transformation of motion into emotion, seeking not a reaction but rather an interaction.
