Parallel Thoughts I
My sculpture is not about what it looks like. It’s about what it feels like.
I am interested in visual experiences that leave me feeling good for no apparent reason.
My sculptures are perhaps best approached by looking with soft eyes and without preconception.
Art has the ability to take us beyond the appearance of the work we are looking at.
Fundamental to my work is the belief that Art offers a path to healing and to the sublime.
Parallel Thoughts II
My work asks questions about how time and our collective memory can be used in sculpture.
My work has two different kinds of meaning. What you feel when you look at it. And a parallel meaning that comes out when you think or talk about it… when language becomes part of the experience.
Is our mind constructed to give a verbal meaning to what we sense visually and to give it a narrative? If we get the narrative before we get the visual sense, how does that change the meaning?
In visual art, the important image is the one that is made on the viewer’s retina.
Art is either serious or it is a diversion.
