ARTIST STATEMENT

“I have been and still am a seeker, but I have ceased to question stars and books; I have begun to listen to the teachings my blood whispers to me.” ~ Hermann Hesse

Art is a process, as is life. You acquire new information and integrate it with the old, as well as surrender to the present with a bizarre send of, “Okay, let’s go”. I communicate through various media. The steel is raw, unfinished strong industrial material. The drawings are curious organic investigations into human form and essence. The clay yields to gentle guidance—upon firing, it manifests enduring strength.

Transition: the flow of beings from one form to another—the flow of creation from one media to another. Searching for similarities and welcoming contradictions, this empty space requires trust. Intuition bridges the gap between here and tomorrow.
