Artist's Statement
My creative focus is giving a block of wood a notable identity… This quest motivates me to create a visually compelling abstract sculpture. Bestowing upon the wood an elegant yet elusive character thereby, providing it a memorable attribute.
My inspiration comes from human creations vs. those of nature…I seek images that stimulate me to explore the fusion of a two-dimensional image into a three-dimensional sculpture. Thus begins the process of integrating a block of wood with its own spirit.
