Artist Statement:
Space before thought.
Through forging and repoussé work, I feel the material and aim to transform that feeling into a form. By applying multiple layers of enamel I seek to enhance the expression, not solely in order to create something different but to give depth to form. Form and surface should, so to speak, melt together. |
