Through sculpture I seek ways to reveal connections between tangible and intangible.  Links are made with form, drawing on inherent meaning of objects as well as the ambiguous qualities of life experience and memory.  As the play between randomness and an order of attraction becomes more evident in my own life, I use sculpture to engage with the moving nature of meaning.  I question clean, perfect narratives and find a sense of reality and lingering meaning in the imprecise, in senses and feelings, absurdity, the discarded and decaying. 

I look to enhance the perception of interconnectedness regardless of meaning through an expansion and contraction of studio process.  In this process, movement, objects, ideas, intangibles begin to overlap and relate and things come into focus.  Within the play between narrative and form a post-modern anthropology takes shape.  It brings together frayed lines of meaning, fragments of objects, and senses that subtly show us ourselves.  Actions, memories, stories, and desire live in a collaged space where meaning and signification overlap.  Add a little movement and a place emerges where our perceptions are multi-form, conflicted, uncertain, and alive.
