I think of my sculptures as visual poems. I like making sculptures of genres we usually think of for paintings: landscape, still life, the figure. I’m interested in expressing actions or characteristics that address the human condition, and translate emotions into image, to invent objects which mystify yet beg meaning. I want these objects I make to have weight and presence, to provoke curiosity, to be multi-faceted, to be at times humorous, to be profound, and to have heart.
