About The Artwork

This sculpture was on temporary display at the Madison Central Library. The materials used are boxelder and pine. This large scale project took over a year to complete. The "flames" are carved from a single tree that was over 3' in diameter. Promethues' gift is my reinterpretation of the myth, through the lens of the environmental crisis we face. The question I ask is do we control the 'fire' or does it control us, and to what end? This work has been on display at the public library in madison wi. It is a large scale piece and features a whole section of a boxelder tree trunk that was felled by a wind storm in my neighborhood.

From design inspired by organic forms to the use of reclaimed materials, I pose the question: What is our place in the natural world? Seeking to not only understand our impact on nature but how it in influences us. We yearn for a connection to nature on a cellular level. The building blocks of my sculpture-mosaics represent the building blocks of life. I create art that is a piece of the puzzle, bringing my distinctive interpretation of nature indoors. My compositions create a balance between the materials, textures and colors that truly ring like a correct pitch. Mine is a soulful response to living in a chaotic world. As a long time resident of Madison WI, my heart is rooted in the upper-Midwest. The perspective that this region brings seeps into my mentality. As an apprentice I fell in love with wood as a dynamic medium. Through the combination of wood, glass, metal, paper and light, I suggest relationships between us and our environment. I am committed to using locally sourced and reclaimed materials in innovative ways. By fusing art, design and ethics I am contributing to creating a better, built environment. TO LIVE WITH ART IS TO LIVE WELL
