While most forms of sculpture are additive or reductive, I enjoy the challenge of breathing life into a sheet of steel wire mesh, where no material can be added or removed, and no crease erased.
The lightness and transparency of the mesh offer a sense of simplicity to the gestures and feel of lightness to the movement, while the hardness of the metal promises that the moment captured continues well beyond its fragment of time.

As an artist I find myself most intrigued in the study of the human form. I am as much inspired by dance and movement as I am by the subtleties and simplicity of unspoken gestures. Together these compose a universal language which I attempt to instill and imbue in my work.
