My current work explores the human form through the shifting language of representation and abstraction. With a background in painting, illustration, and realistic figurative sculpture, I have spent years learning to observe and translate the figure with precision. I am now increasingly interested in what happens when I let go of that precision and allow the form itself to lead.
I think of these sculptures as discoveries. Rather than beginning with a fixed image, I work intuitively, trusting the process to reveal forms I could not have anticipated. The results often surprise me. They feel less like objects I have imposed upon the material and more like something I have uncovered - moving between the recognizable and the abstract—sumptuous feminine forms, unexpected angles, and shapes that reveal something different from every perspective.
I want my sculptures to create a moment of curiosity—to invite someone to slow down, move around the work, and discover their own response. A form that feels restful to one person may feel melancholy or hopeful to another. I value that ambiguity and the space it gives the viewer.
For me, meaningful sculpture does not need to demand attention to make an impact. I am interested in work with enough presence to be discovered, enough mystery to be revisited, and enough quietness to leave room for the viewer's own experience.
