ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This is an ongoing series featuring imagined lifeforms with differing morphology. I am fascinated with taxonomy, the system in biology of classifying species based on their traits. These sinuous and flowing forms are forged in steel with the liquid metal sheen of nickel plate. The weight and rigidity of the material gives way to the apparent lightness of the form.

Forging hot metal presents a beautiful moment of spontaneous artistic creation; the forms and objects that result are perfect records of the event. Every hammer blow, every physical manipulation is frozen into the metal, transforming it even further from its elemental stone origin. I imbue a semblance of life in the medium that contrasts with its cold rigidity. My imagined life forms stand as a counterpoint to taxonomy, our attempt to categorize and quantify life on earth.
