Resting Spirit Urn #1 Sculpture

I think of my work as reflecting a spiritual resonance that spans from ancestral musings to organic contemporary. I am captivated by the ways sculpture can embody a timeless historical reflection of a culture's beliefs, and how the artist, as interpreter, transforms those beliefs into form. Through the symbolic nature of my work, I pay homage to an ancient spirituality that is captured in the extensive exploration of form, texture, and color. Sculptural works are primarily hand built using a modified pinch-method of construction. Small dabs of clay are added one by one until the form is complete. This technique is slow, tranquil, and meditative, allowing the spirit of the form to evolve over a period of time.
