My work is about contrasts and relationships. I explore contrasts of human condition with my story lines such as male-female and human-animal relationships, and accompanying emotions of warmth and aggression, love and rejection, and nurture and abandonment. Dynamic and interactive narratives are developed using two and three dimensions at the same time with the sculpted form and painted surface. I use a visual vocabulary and classic tools of design, proportion, perspective and silhouette to both sculpt and paint. Eyes show emotional relationships. Facial and figural gestures develop personalities. Illusionary objects and perspectives suggest motion. As a viewer moves around the work, they see each angle and focus point leading to new chapters and story lines. Combined, these clues tell an overall story.
While the form and material are static, the story comes to life in the round. "On the Way" shows a figure chased by a dog, and symbolizes the idea of trying to avoid the unexpected things that get in the way. "Coffee and Milk" is a melodrama between two people and how they get along with each other and the objects in their room and life. These two major sculptures are almost human-sized in scale and can be seen more as a 'conversation' by walking around them. "In Their Eyes" is smaller and more delicate with intimate details rendered in porcelain.
