About

"My drawings are autonomous works, and my sculptures are drawings that want to push themselves out into space. Recurring forms such as skulls, serpents, vessels, and birds serve as points of departure rather than fixed symbols. I think of the work as the creation of families, with each drawing and sculpture suggesting the possibility of another."
