Wall Sculpture
About The Process.
My work combines painting and sculpture. It is process oriented and uses nontraditional techniques to achieve a rugged elegance.
I show the history of a piece - cutting, burning, tearing, drilling, and stabbing the surface. I apply layers then partly remove them, continually building up and tearing down, discovering the shape as I build it. Each step is an intuitive reaction to the last.
Many materials are used: wax, plaster, wood, canvas, paper, graphite, and oil. My goal is to reveal the hand of the maker and the passage of time.
