Artist Statement

She continues to perfect the plasma-cutting technique that is the cornerstone of her artwork. By working the metal with delicate handling, she produces forms that seem to physically manifest tensions between nature and culture. Fascinated by the natural sciences, the artist takes inspiration from the complex textures that can be observed in the morphology of living organisms. By the artifice of excess, her creations evoke the madness of organic life, the elegance of the plant kingdom and the astonishment of the animal world.
