Artist Statement
Many of my sculptures capture moments in time from an observer's perspective - with people crossing paths and interacting. Many pieces are inspired by the natural world around me. Most works are done with mid-range fire clay and glaze, and some are finished with mixed media. Some are framed and ready to hang.
The Clay has qualities that I symbolically associate with the earth’s ancientness and with people. From attitudes and beliefs evolved over time, we build layers, each a facade for the other. The layers of facades we build are like the layers of the earth, deep and aged.
I attempt to tear away these layers, to unearth fears, and feelings that are not readily spoken off.
