In the last few years I have reassessed my approach to sculpture, abandoning stone and bronze for the lightness and spontaneity of fiber clay. Currently I am investigating visual literacy as a new global language. My current show uses the pillow form as a departure point for conversations with the viewer on dream states. In much of our world, the pillow as a common object does not require definition. It is my intention to provoke, humor and inspire the viewer by manipulating a common form charged with personal associations. My Architectural training largely influences my design choices, but the essence of my work can be found within the underlying conversation in each sculpture.
