view porfolio My artistic process is one of gathering, sorting, and assimilating my experience of the world; I attempt to (re)shape and articulate, through sculptural form, some distillation of my subjective observations. The ‘body’ is usually my starting point, either through modeling or through casting, I then work with multiple cast hydrocal elements (as the primary material) to create the sculptures.

It is through repetition of the semi-figurative/semi-abstracted elements, an intuitive process of making and unmaking, that allows me to arrive at the compositions and ultimately the content I desire. The work explores various subjective states: psychological, emotional, physical, and social. Drawing upon imagery as an entry point, and sensory/tactile experience as a physical embodiment of ideas, I invite the viewer to quietly contemplate the indeterminate nature of my pieces.
