Artist Statement Made in clay and bronze, my sculptures are about the figure, the landscape and how these relate to each other in the environment. My work ranges from geologic scale totems to small decorative ceramic chests that speak of energy, transformation, and the volcanic movement of the earth. I build in layers, stacking and joining the clay as I move upward to create layers of antiquity, layers of time, and layers of myself. Petrified ghosts and seas of ancient years are recorded as the process drapes the landscape. I let the sculpture lead me where it should go.            A small sampling of the artist's work . . .
