This current body of sculptural work was born out of the winter months in a period of reflection and change. The grounding force in these works and in myself is nature. I remember in pictures of maple seeds, in the collection of oak leaves, antlers found in the forest, and mushrooms I’ve studied on trees. I am trying to create something alive in these works, but they never will be.. In each there are shadows, playing with the space and hinting at what is still missing. They look to the subconscious to try and understand where am I and what is my path forward.
