in the studio

Through the vehicle of stone, it is my mission to provoke a rapture of mystery, to search for the essence of truth, and to explore ceaseless cycles of birth and death. Each piece is a biomorphic, monolithic capsule waiting to be unlocked, explored, and assimilated. In doing so, I hope to make familiar the evolution of time and place.

Direct carving in a morphic, reactive manner allows the tale of the artistic journey - and the will of the stone - to have a voice alongside the form and the intent of the artist. This process results in a subtle, multidimensional, holistic style.

These pieces use mass to attract attention, and their complexity draws usersin, to the story of their creation - and ours. The participant is drawn into a tactile story, through a spacial journey, exercising one's notion of scale and self.

I choose to rework sculptural standards, weaving them from collected strands of universal aesthetic philosophy and physical law. These borrowings from multiple diverse worlds pay homage to the fabric of unity and ultimately lead to a point of reverence.
