I find great satisfaction working with basic raw materials that can be coaxed, nurtured if you will, into objects that have shape and balance — a rhythm in their proportion, scale and surface texture. It is my hope that some of these universal rhythms of nature are embodied in my pieces, evoking the simple strengths that reside in stone and the natural landscape.
My inspirations are a varied mixture. I’ve got this wabi-sabi meets mid-century modern thing going on, what I’m calling “Modern Primitive”. For me, any design discipline involving the relationship of shape, form and color (architecture, fashion, product design) all inform my work as well as the beauty of the natural world.
