cast iron sculpture

Eyes, windows of the soul, are closed, and the hand prevents words from escaping. Thoughts and emotions contained within, silenced. My work in sculpture focuses on representations of concepts and qualities of humanness—the characterization of various universal emotions, sensations, thought processes, the embodiment of self-identity and manifestations of spirituality. With a background as a professional dancer, choreographer and competitive athlete, I employ the language of the human body as a means of creative expression. In sculpture I often use aspects and parts of the human anatomy to convey ideas in physical form. Working primarily in metal renders weight and material presence that I find particularly engaging. Seeing my work I wish viewers to find resonance and relevance of “being human” as I explore and express in physical form various facets, abstractions and iterations centering around tmind-body connection and the human experience.
