I join sculptural elements into my work
It is relationships I am interested in. How a person, place or thing exists in relation to another in time; I work with the micro and macro, to join, to build, deconstruct and assemble a storyline, an essence or idea that is both figurative and symbolic.
I work with mediums available to me in my immediate environment and community. I use varied media such as created and found images, 3D objects, digital imaging, forms of type, oil and acrylic paint, pastels, news and more recently I've begun to work with steel and stone.
In my collage, writing and graphik design, I work to depict a story. In sculpture as I learn to work with stone, aluminium and steel, I seek to represent and symbolize the telling, whether it is my own, the timeline of a person, or a community interacting with one another.
