Artist Statement:
The forms I work with are vaguely biological, referencing plant or animal anatomy and invoking a connection with the primitive. I want the pieces to be considered from the inside out, externally expressing an identity, with a mysterious inner space. Referencing what we are and where we came from, the pieces are created in recognition of the past, while alluding to the future |
