I am drawn to the waxing and waning, the ebb and flow, the cyclical tendency of nature. From birth to death and the circle that keeps it all flowing. Nature never stops and neither do we. We start out almost magically as one cell dividing in two and we die as our bodies decompose back into the soil to fortify yet another life. There is a common thread between us as humans and the natural world, and I am hopeful that this may be why my work resonates with the viewer. I strive to achieve the moment when a creature is emerging into birth, pulsing with life or crumbling away back into the depths of the Earth. My work may look like an ancient relic or fossil just released from a cave or a seed sprout bursting from the soil, reaching for the sun. Either way a state of transformation is usually evident. I sincerely hope my work can arouse the viewer’s primal connection to the Earth.
