About My Work

I came to sculpture from the field of graphic design, and balance has been key throughout my career: How to play with it, how to throw it off and yet ultimately invoke harmony. For instance, in some of my works, you’ll see a perfect sphere precariously poised on a steep angle; but no, maybe it’s nestled within a totemic column, or hangs in mid-air, or you discover it tucked into a meeting of planes. What is “perfect,” I wonder? What makes a momentary convergence timeless? For me, gravity is a welcome force of nature that allows unusual and imperfect things to hang in unexpected balance. 

I think that playfulness and precarity are good things, because as humans we are always trying to find ways to bring them into balance, to harmonize them for ourselves. I enjoy creating these opportunities and material convergences, but then I have to have the discipline to step out of the way. If I am successful, then my sculptures take on a life without me, allowing the viewer to have their own relationship with the work, irrespective of my intent.
