Artist Statement

If art must enter into communion with nature to express nature's principles, it must also follow its acts of generation. The essence of the nature thus produced is not object-hood but aliveness. To imitate and make visible (by creating artistic equivalents), not the objective forms of nature, but of nature's action - the action being change and transformation.

In physical space, on account of its three dimensions, we can conceive three planes which intersect one another at right angles.

Since, through the senses we know what is outside us only insofar as it stands in relation to ourselves, it is not surprising that we find in the relationship of these intersecting planes to our body the first ground from which to derive the concept of regions in space. How the coordinates of the body come to frame the universe and how the universe frames us is a constantly asked question for mankind. Its constant reevaluation provides a perfect stage for sculpture to act out her part. Sculpture converses with its surroundings within the volume of space it inhabits. The tones of that conversation are as much an articulation of the cultural and the universal as the pieces themselves. That’s what sets sculpture apart from the illusions of painting – it is in the world that we inhabit too. Our view of our own place in that three dimensional world has been the subject of much scientific enquiry, so that in this domain of human thinking and feeling, art and science offer parallel perspectives on the labyrinth of mind.
