Artist Statement
“Growing up I remember the vivid landscapes of the Southern Utah desert. I spent a lot of time in the desert mountains and remember finding bones on many hikes. I was amazed by the shapes each bone had and how they worked together to allow the animals to move. My sculptural ideas are derived from these bone forms found in the desert. I study these shapes and work to abstract them. The convex and concave elements found in bones resonate in my abstracted forms. The lines and planes in my forms often appear and fade away, drawing you in and around each sculpture. I place voids in my work to allow light to pass through creating more visual interest. My intent is to express my visions from the desert and I hope each viewer has a connection in their own way to my work.”
