Artist Statement
I am as interested in touch as I am in sight. The shape of the hump
in a camel’s back is as relevant to me as the feel of slick plastic.
I often pull from many disparate elements, both physically and
conceptually, but in the end my goal is to find the juncture where
these references mesh to form a new and seamless identity. What
I am searching for is a universal nature, one that simultaneously
recalls the ancient and familiar.
