My work presents unanswered questions that invite viewers beyond their personal experiences and assumptions. My goal is to create a sense of awe — a larger and more mysterious awareness that transcends our current understanding of the world. That sense of wonder gets us outside of ourselves, connecting us to community, to nature, to ideas, and to something genuinely universal.
I want to transform individual experience into universal experience. My sculptures symbolize archetypal qualities of characters and situations. They might at first appear whimsical. But the unanswered questions they pose create a pathway to an archetypal experience — one that reaches past the labels and differences that define and divide us. Regardless of how we see ourselves or each other, we are part of a single connected community.
My characters are both contemporary and timeless archetypal metaphors. Their gestures tell stories by amplifying human qualities, emotions, and circumstances.
