I am attempting to break free of traditions while questioning the values of form and functionality in our society. I boldly use an expressive hand building technique of construction, destruction and repair. An emphasis is placed on spontaneity, ambiguity and working intuitively. I enjoy split second decision making and letting the work take its own shape. My construction technique is learned from my many years experience bricklaying in Indianapolis. Bonding clay slabs, chunks of earth, or found material, I stack, form and manipulate sometimes thousands of pieces into one final form. The result is a collage of image and texture, expressive and energetic.
