Sculpture

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. The physicality and three-dimensional visual aspect that comes from being a dancer are what attract me to this medium. Seeing my work I wish the viewer 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.
