Artist Statementarrow_drop_downThere are people that try to figure out who they are throughout their entire lives. Although some may succeed in this endeavor, many remain lost in false identities throughout. Often, one exhaustingly presumes an identity, or a multitude of identities, when one can be themselves by simply noticing the present, moment by moment.
This thought process is intrinsically expressed in my work, as moment by moment, the material guides an evolution of each design. The beginning of each piece is always the same, however, the finished work is as unique as each moment of its creation. The goal is to allow a piece to be created through these instances of honesty; a relic of truth of a moment in time. The piece has become what it is, and nothing more.
