Statement

Visual opposites are intriguing to me. Perfect geometry or free forms of nature and man hold a variety of textures, lines, forms, patterns and color that are evolved in my work. Lately, a need to simplify and create order out of chaos are due to changes in me. The marble stones of architecture and figurative sculpture of old seem warm and inviting. Nothing lasts forever, stone or flesh, but maybe something left behind will enlighten.
