Each of my sculptural works is a bricolage of objects and forms that I have found or created from observed sources. They embody my appreciation for the allure of random formal interactions, as well as my compulsion to arrange and order. Guided by intuition and the contemplation of disparate materials, I align components and develop juxtapositions which I feel are harmonious. I seek a level of involvement with materials and processes that becomes like a dialogue, where I respond to the materials as I manipulate them. Much attention is given to the area and means of connection so that the transition is fluid, as if the coupled materials are outgrowths of each other. This resolving of differences between materials and/or objects through cooperative joining results in contradictions being built into the works. The sculptures are device-like and reach for a sense of purpose at the same moment that their very makeup denies any logical functionality. I use this tension between hybridity and incongruity to question the relationship between the natural and the industrial aspects of our society and world.
