ARTIST'S
STATEMENT
After hibernating
through most of 2008, I came out realizing that I wanted to take
more control of my materials and ideas. In the last year and a
half since making this change, the energy around my work has increased
exponentially. I have always held faith that if I persevered in
searching for my most honest expression, that I would have a moment
of revelation and opportunity, both. It actually comes as little
surprise to me that I recognize that moment as now. It seems both
perfect and ridiculous to me. I could not be happier. The skeletal/anatomical
pieces of 2009 are all titled in tribute to people who have significantly
impacted my life as a sculptor, whether through patronage or friendship
and encouragement.
