​Each sculpture I create contains memories and feelings of a specific person, place, or moment in my life. In this way, they are sacred sites, memorials, or totemic forms which are linked to a spiritual-emotional space within and without me. These fragments of wood and stone silent​ly​ speak of their passage through time and space, and embody the spirit of their parent landscape.

I consider these materials to be “sought objects,” a term which describes an object which seems to reveal itself when the time is right, much like a great teacher does. Through an artistic process which combines directed effort and reflection, the material’s surfaces and body is physically altered and manipulated, a process of collaboration and learning from the hands of nature which have previously shaped it. This engaging process ultimately leads ​me ​to a kind of understanding of origins, physicality, and interconnection.
