ARTIST STATEMENT: "I have a need to create physical, tangible objects. Ideas and emotions are translated from mind to world through my fingers, hands, and arms. Like the life sustaining need to take in breath, I must create to stave off emotional death. Geometrical shapes and patterns hold great interest for me. Linear planes and crisp angles impose a certain order in a world filled with chaos. Geometry describes the beauty inherent to all things on our planet, in our solar system, and beyond. I primarily work with steel. I’m attracted to this material because of its physical qualities and characteristics. Steel is all at once tactile, solid, smooth, rigid, flexible, permanent, and malleable."
