Early Statement
My work is about many things.
I don't know what they all are.
It's about being in my studio.
It's about 3-D space
and the relationship between me
and my materials in space.
Immediacy has to do with it.
It's about imperfections and ackwardness –
and other things beyond my control
while consciously trying to
shed that which is stifling or confining.
It's about “freedout” freedom.
I want my sculptures to be a place.
Recent Statement
My sculptures are about playing with space.
Making sculpture for me is a process of choices and decisions – involving work, energy and materials: making plans, taking actions, dealing with gravity, moving structures around, making connections, attachments and changes – allowing for mistakes and enjoying surprises. I love to throw color into the mix.
My paintings are either abstracted landscapes of places that inspire me, or compositional studies.
There is always give-and-take between control and spontaneity, ideas and excitement – the goal is exhilaration for me and the viewer.
