ARTIST'S STATEMENT

I tend to create with an obsessive and myopic view which is resolved by working in series. I exhaust ideas by submitting them to theme and variation. If an idea is good, it should last through more than one transformation. When all possibilities seem exhausted, I sometimes push my idea into another medium. For example, I photographed my sculpture and used the photos to create a new series of prints.

I don't get bored with an idea easily, so I find myself working on the same one for several years. Hopefully we evolve together.
