My statement
|
|
|
Organic abstraction executed in quasi-industrial materials sums up the intriguing dichotomy at work in my sculpture. Creating under the motto “Notice the things you notice” I construct forms that reflect nature’s details resonant with the idea of growth in successive stages. While many of the objects allude to natural phenomena such as limbs, stems and seed forms, body parts or marine life, there is never an attempt to make links to particular plants or species. These bio-morphs are simply a translation of my influences, in an attempt to understand the handiwork of the divine, and re-represent it in a simple material form.
