- My work is a sculptural statement which is complete when off the figure
yet is constructed and exists because of the human body. I am intrigued
by the idea that the human body is capable of carrying large objects, both
physically and visually; therefore, I often construct forms of a scale
which puts the work into the category of body sculpture rather than jewelry.
- There are five major aspects to my work: the constructed three-dimensional
form, the color relationships, the definition of space, the combination
of patterns, and the scale of the objects in relationship to the human
figure. My goal is to create a sense of visual tension among the formal
elements of each object, such as from line to plane, from color to value,
from one directional force to another, or from the rhythms in the structure
to the rhythms in the colors. Each object is studied and worked in totality,
no part being any less important than any other.
- I refer to the linear constructions I did in the 1980's as three-dimensional
drawings to wear and to the newer more organic works as sculptural paintings
to wear. I hope that as objects they seem to be "alive" with
aesthetic presence. The motivation for the work is never to fit into any
trend but rather the work is done out of a passion for creating, for trying
to do something significant.
