ARTIST’S STATEMENT
To work in bronze is to engage in the language of permanence — to cast form into eternity. My sculptures begin with the human figure, but the result is never literal. I distill the form into planes, contours, and angular geometries — formal elements that function as visual poetry. The sculpting process becomes meditative, an act of distillation where each edge is honed until it reverberates with intention.
I am drawn to what lies beneath the surface: the ineffable, the archetypal, the presence that eludes definition. Some works echo ancient deities or mythic spirits; others feel suspended between eras — simultaneously primordial and futuristic. These forms do not assert singular meanings; they invite interpretation, allowing each viewer to bring their own mythology to the encounter.
The landscape and spirit of New Mexico — its cathedral skies, ancient stone, wild energy, and untamed weather — have profoundly influenced my recent work. It is a place where silence and power meet, infusing form with endurance, mystery, and transformation.
In a cultural moment dominated by immediacy and spectacle, my sculptures ask for something different: stillness. They are not explanatory objects — they are devotional. Quiet monuments to presence.
This is not simply a practice. It is an extension of who I am.
