I DRAW INSPIRATION FROM THE STRENGTH AND FORMS OF NATURE. I CREATE THREE-DIMENSIONAL WORLDS MADE OF COUNTLESS SMALL PIECES, SOMETIMES MONUMENTAL, SOMETIMES DELICATE, LIKE SECRET GARDENS, FIELDS STIRRED BY THE WIND, OR CHILDHOOD STORIES. I CHERISH SLOWING DOWN, DEDICATING TIME, AND TRANSFORMING MATERIAL AND MEMORY INTO TANGIBLE POETRY. MY WORK EXPLORES THESE NARRATIVES THROUGH ULTRA-THIN WOOD VENEERS, METAL, AND FIRED ENAMEL.”
My work is deeply rooted in the materials I use and the meditative time spent creating each piece. Each element carries a story,often memories from my childhood, and is added piece by piece, like a long unfolding narrative.
