Artists Statement:

I am absorbed by motion, concerned simply with how one gets from here to there and the structures that are needed to show it. My work no longer has direct reference to nature, but it remains organic. Growth and change are stimuli. I work in hard plaster for tensile strength and building freedom. I then cast the larger pieces in bronze for permanence.
