ARTIST’S STATEMENT
My next sculpture or painting will be my next masterpiece.
A lifetime’s involvement with forms and shapes, their relationships, tensions and juxtapositions has allowed me to exist comfortably in my ever-evolving practice. To be comfortably unsettled within it tides, allowing all of my works, welded or painted, to coalesce over time.
Initial sketches allow me to capture and document moments in real-time, allowing my love of detail to blossom in the making process.
My paintings have evolved into an extension of my love of shapes and forms. My paintings are imitations of my sculptures and vice versa.
