Artist Statement

My current work approaches the subtleties of living, defined by form, movement, colour and texture. The exploration of complexity and uniqueness of movement within my forms fuels my momentum and motivation to create. Each work, through the contours of the body and the placement of the appendages, captures movements which are compelling in their peculiarity. Highly textural and seemingly organic surfaces are utilized to invoke a belief we are experiencing a kind of mimicry of life. In my attempt to fix a moment or movement in time, I am interested in how we perceive and assign qualities of both the object and the organic to the works through our perception of life.
