My work documents time and transformation. I change forms and materials through geologic processes like layering, stacking and carving. I combine blends of reclaimed wood and synthetics like foam and tapes and transform them from patined flat lumber to carved undulating surfaces, creating new landscapes. I am inspired observing the intersection of the human and natural landscape: places where the human and natural worlds intersect.
Forms and processes in my work are metaphors for personal transformation. My adult life is a journey of learning and discovery, both artistic and personal, correcting what is broken, removing what is unnecessary, and trusting the process.
