I believe that life is not ordinary, but that there is a heroic, monumental, and divine capacity to the human spirit, which sculpture offers me an avenue to express.
I want the viewer to be reminded that there is an indomitable force for goodness within each of us, which we can all draw upon to transcend every difficulty. In this way I hope my sculpture becomes not only an object of beauty but also can raise and enlarge the consciousness of the viewer to a divine stature, which I feel is our birthright.
The voluminous shapes are aesthetically pleasing and intoxicating to me but also serve to emphasize the largeness and capacity of the soul. The largeness of my forms also symbolizes an abundance, and someone has said, and I wholly concur, that “whether enclosed within themselves or interacting with another form, their subtle ‘actions’ evoke a depth of empathy.”
