Artist Statement:
I have a need to create physical, tangible objects. I’m attracted to working with steel because of its physical qualities and characteristics. Steel is all at once tactile, solid, smooth, rigid, flexible, permanent, and malleable. I’m drawn to geometrical shapes and patterns. Linear planes and crisp angles impose a certain order in a world filled with chaos.
