ARTIST STATEMENT

The imagism in my sculptures is influenced by an exploration of the essential nature of the medium, its suggestibility, and the processes utilized in combining dissimilar shapes. The process involves the direct manipulation of materials with surface and color solutions initially explored in drawings. Paint was applied to shapes to emphasize, define, enhance, contrast, or chromatically contradict surfaces. The power of the materials evolves into a gestural presence: an immediate sense perception of form laden with symbolic significance. The objects are abstract constructions - the imagery, subjective.
