My work explores the vessel both as a metaphor and as an object of corporeal physicality.
The forms allude to plants and human bodies; imagery that artists have used throughout the
centuries to express ideas about their relationship to the world. I work volumes that reflect
the interactions of flesh and bone and breath, exploring the idea of vessel as body and volume as spirit.
Through the investigation of line and volume, form and color, interior and exterior, I amwith able to find
balances within myself, between my intellect and intuitions, my masculine and feminine qualities,
my flesh and my dreams.
