My work emphasizes a meaningful involvement with place,
particularly the resonance between people and their
surroundings. I investigate tangible relationships between
objects, people, and environments. For me, the best lens
through which to approach this is relief sculpture. Relief
concretizes the relationship of the figure to its space, because
it is intrinsically physical yet flattened; both figure and ground
share a continuous surface.
Broadly, I explore how environment and identity shape each
other. This connection of the physical and the psychological
parallels my belief in the association of process and meaning.
Through contemplative working and reworking I allow for the
modification of meaning. My mode of working is reflective and
attentive, but not slow. It is lively and excited, but not fast.
