Diachronic Abstraction

Abstract

I create objects to convey emotion, to emphasize the process of making, and to portray a sense of the instinctual nature of my work. I seek to convey a form of visceral expression through the mediums of metals, ceramics, plastics, polymers, and gemstones. These objects serve as the actualization and physical embodiments of sentiment, by which the maker and viewer may become aware and respond to them. I am driven to act by materials; their exploration is the conduit to my work process.
