Artist Statement

 My work focuses on natural forms and systems, both figurative and non-figurative.  There is a sense of play through both choice of materials, process and subjects depicted.  I see my work as collaborative and my job to assemble parts into a whole that effectively communicates my own critical perception of the world around me.  I am interested in the environmental context of the work and I see the human experience greatly enhanced by the process of making things and experimentation.
