These works were initially inspired by Marcel Duchamp; particularly his ideas on control (or the lack thereof) in artwork. I create boldly graphic imagery using rusted metal, then submerge it in plaster and relinquish partial control at that point, allowing the oxidation of the metal to bloom through the layer of plaster above it. I have control over the majority of the process, and carefully guide the work towards the end result I am aiming for, but for the final touch I trust to the unknown, and allow chance to take over. What results are bold, yet at the same time ephemeral and ghostly shadows in a crisp white plaster ground. This particular sculpture was born through the act of destruction. I wasn’t pleased with how the piece was turning out and decided to remove the metal from the plaster and start over again, but after removing the metal I discovered that that was, paradoxically, exactly what was needed in order to bring the work to completion. To really create exceptional art, an artist must be prepared to push their work to the limit, and even to destroy the work and start over again if necessary. My willingness to push to the very limit allowed me to discover the unexpected method with which to finish the work; and my concentration even in destruction, allowed me to recognize that I had found something spectacular, and to stop before it went too far.

Rather than having a single style of repeated works, I prefer to have a large group of themes, ideas and styles to draw from which I periodically re-visit, and which will continually grow, evolve and influence each other, leading to new interests over the course of my lifetime. I take a very long-term approach to art creation, seeing the scope of my past, present and planned future work all together, and how it will all be unified at the end of my life into a cohesive whole. I feel that approaching art in this way keeps my work fresh, and helps it to be less repetitive and formulaic than if I were to work in the same style for long periods of time, repeating the same motions and artwork over and over. This decision echoes my feeling that life is a long series of learning adventures in which we examine our surroundings and turn them inside-out to study and interpret them, then show others what we have learned from the experience.
