Sculpture

I have always been drawn to organic shapes - rolling hills, sand traps on golf courses, river stones, and even the forms of growing bacteria I watched in petri dishes in my father’s microbiology lab. During my undergraduate years, I began exploring how to formalize that sense of flow and movement by cutting wood on the bandsaw, shaping pieces that curved and interacted the way natural forms do.

Over time my work evolved from natural wood surfaces into color, layered compositions, and later into collage. I remain intrigued by movement, both what we can see and the subtle dynamics happening just outside our perception. This approach softens rigidity, allowing beauty, curiosity, and introspection to guide each piece. When the elements of an individual work interact with one another, and with the environment in which the piece lives—they breathe new life into both the artwork and the space it inhabits.

Flow, Movement & Tension

This interplay of flow, movement, and tension gives each piece shifting dimensionality - what appears from one vantage point contrasts with what is happening behind or within the forms. As the viewer moves, the piece opens further, revealing new angles, hidden layers, and the suggestion of unseen space. The background becomes partially visible, inviting imagination to fill in what isn’t fully revealed.

There is an unspoken dialogue about relationship, how one individual shape can hold its own autonomy while still belonging to a larger system without losing integrity or worth. That relational curiosity naturally extends into the human experience: how we navigate individuality, proximity, boundaries, and belonging, how we remain ourselves while living inside something larger than ourselves.
