Artist Statement

I create sculptural works and installations in a unique combination of the figurative and the abstract.  Using materials both traditional and those less conventional (including resin, bronze, steel, wood, concrete, thread, fishing line and hooks), I make sculptures that convey the vulnerability, as well as the tenacity, of the human psyche.  The works are an exploration of the human condition, where bodies find themselves in abstract compositions of almost clinical precision, and where souls seek equilibrium.
