Artist Statement
Working with, and within an object’s rational I listen for new possibility. I interact with material hoping to surprise myself. Somewhere in this process of becoming, something new is born, growing from the dense point where meaning and material are intertwined. Mindful of the rules imbedded within things and the logics draped about them, I follow each path to the next, and the next, and the next, acting as much as a transformational conduit as a hand at the helm. I fail and try to fail better excited as layers pull back and depths become clear. I stand knee deep in a sea of time that stretches forward into the never-ending future and back into the never-ceasing past, an abyss filled with material, tenuously and temporarily coheased into structures that weather and erode back into matter. With my hand I pluck a fragment, whose poetic economy expresses its limited version of its original unbounded state—a part expressing an incomprehensible whole.
