STATEMENT

The overarching theme of my work is a search for wholeness within fragmentation. Tension between opposites has especially informed this search: introspection versus community, natural versus urban environments, organic versus synthetic materials, complete versus shattered forms, realism versus abstraction, and stability versus transience.

My use of organic asymmetry remains consistent throughout these varied projects. One breakthrough in reconciling opposites came when I began creating crowdscapes, which balance the expansive depth of a landscape with the density of an urban crowd. I see my attempts to integrate fragments as a reflection of my inner world and an examination of external forces of division and regeneration.
