ARTIST'S STATEMENT:

Form and surface are very important to me as an artist. It’s the relationship of an object within its' space that interests me. In pursuing this goal, I developed two unique techniques: paper clay on steel wire and external tar paper armatures . By combining my background in handmade paper making and metal work, I found I could fire steel in my sculptures producing unusual results. This open grid resulted in my Memory Series of teapots and organic sculptures. Using tar paper allows me to create very clean, geometric forms with a sense of stability and order. I find both peace and excitement in these pieces.
