Through my work I combine ancient materials such as plaster and wood together with modern image-making techniques and technology, bringing past and present together as one. The surfaces of my paintings and constructions are tactile and sensual; touching their carved, satiny surfaces reveals deeper levels of experience beyond the purely visual.
I feel that a quiet power is summoned through the act of creation. Subtle forces are released which transcend the individual work, forces that become alive with powers of transformation and metamorphosis. I strive to align these forces into a perfect balance of emotion and order, of passion and precision.
