STATEMENT
I select, I plan, I form, I build, I fashion, I arrange, I assemble, I make, I create.
As a fiber sculptor, first and foremost I am a materialist. I explore the flexibility of material to extract its highest possible resiliency, its potential for dimensionality and its surface opportunities.
As the noted fiber artist and educator, Warren Seelig wrote “When you experience a place it is the materiality that you engage with, and it is the expressiveness of that materiality that makes the place memorable and rich.”
My hope is that my works reflect this experience.
