Artist Statement
For me, it is strength to provide countless personal generosities, more than is behooved of the occupation alone that forms the soul of what it means to be an artist. My sculptures and drawings relate to a strong sense of place, reconstitution of memories, the intricacies of moral virtue, and the relentless passage of time causing disquietude, illness, and death. Gratification in the joy of the physical making of art generates a steady escape into a restorative “flowing time” experience for me. Thinking in Series titled Ede, Family Portrait, Natural and Theological Virtues, Stress, Obsession, and Levels of Pit are crucial for habitual questioning. The emotional, physical and the analytical powers of art serve as an unwavering push to move forward in my shop.
