artist's statement
My sculpture connects the world of the subconscious with the world of our everyday perceptions. Through abstract and nonrepresentational forms, I pursue the connection between these two worlds – and strive to make this connection visible. My sculpture creates mystery and ambiguity through biomorphic forms which straddle the boundaries between the human, the animal, and the imagined.
The artist Paul Klee (1879-1940) stated this concept simply: "Art does not reproduce the visible; rather, it makes visible." Rather than from the realities of the conscious world, my sculpture takes inspiration from a subconscious archive of memory, the known, and the unknown – to communicate both delight and unease at once.
