SCULPTURE

FINDING THE BALANCE BETWEEN FORAGED MATERIALS 
AND  MANMADE OBJECTS

" I initially was focused on painting.  The painting imagery was based on small clay figurative sculptures that I had made, and were about the size of my palm.  They remained simple, unfinished, objects to reflect upon.   After living with these sculptures long enough, I began to see them as more; as a thriving base and possibility for my own sculptural language."​
