My
work explores the many varieties of anatomical structures within vertebrates
and invertebrates. I wish to
address the many issues surrounding these bodies: such as mortality, function
and decay. By
investigating the complex structures I allow myself freedom to play and permit changes
to occur within my pieces. The
metal is most often metaphorical for armor, which protects the vulnerable
insides. I enjoy seeing how these organic structures function, and
welcome the challenge of pounding, cutting and scraping a similar structure out
of my materials. I am currently
experimenting with other organic materials such as stone and animal remains to
broaden my understanding of anatomy.
Creating a space where two separate materials can compliment each other
is an interesting puzzle to me. These structures come more easily to me in
their three-dimensional forms.
