Artist Statement:

The human figure is a work of art.  It continuously  amazes me and holds an unlimited number of expressions and interpretations.  The human form is intriguing, mysterious, simple and complex.  A life form which molds itself in an ever changing environment called life. 

I only wish to capture a moment in time and express a thought or emotion.  Sharing our thoughts or emotions with each other is intriguing and gratifying.  We can acknowledge our differences and similarities which can lead us to find the strings which bind us all together.  By exploring our differences we can also begin to understand ourselves as individuals.  Finding these binding strings is comforting and necessary.

The use of cutting, bending and welding metal together to form the human figure gives me great inspiration. Creating the suggestion of the human form from this hard man made material opens the viewer’s eye to look at his/hers’ surrounding world in a different light.
