ARTIST’S STATEMENT

As a sculptor and a printmaker, I am drawn to the alchemical nature of the processes, in which the final piece is only fully realized in its final material after going through several other material states.

Time is an important concept in my work; our personal time, and past time through references to mythology and places of origin. In both my Intaglio prints and bronze sculptures, labyrinths are used as metaphor for personal time in my work; the labyrinth of choices we make within the time which we are given in life. In the broader sense, time is nonlinear and all inclusive, so I bring in references to the past; ancestors and places of origin (through architectural references), and ideas of the future.

My bronze sculptures include heads, figures and fragments, and are about the universal experience of being human. They deal with the life experience of men and women of diverse cultures, ages and backgrounds, particularly with respect to relationship.
