Artist Statement

My works of art echo forms that share a repetitive quality. The repetition is derived from man’s manipulation of natural forms, this rhythmic cadence develops a complexity which manifests through my craftsmanship and mark making. Industrial softness is what I want to realize both in my sculpture and drawings. This softness is the combination and the manipulation of the hard geometric objects combined with the softer, organic forms. The finished work of art is the relationship between these two that harmonize as a unified composition.
