Work statement: My work is fundamentally about the experience of the object

Born of the figure, though not explicitly figurative, my work renders the body of the viewer as the figure in question. These sculptures explore how the body identifies objects and identifies with objects. The works are not abstract, but definitive objects of an indeterminate nature.

The work confronts accepted notions of what steel sculpture should look like and how it should be made. These works use mass and gravity without relying on size or weight. Surfaces are activated using qualities inherent in the material
