I create forms that feel as though they have been caught mid-movement and made permanent in stone. As I carve, the forms bend, fold, and rise as if pulled from a fluid medium. Surface, texture, space, and edge are then manipulated to control how light describes the form.
My work begins with a deep connection to stone, a material shaped by geological time and by the hands of sculptors for millennia. Working within this sculptural lineage, I continue its pursuit of form, movement, and expression using a contemporary vocabulary. Each piece begins as a gesture drawn from sensation, observation, and emotion. As the sculpture develops, it inevitably absorbs the life lived while being made. The gesture expands beyond its initial impulse as new perspectives become embedded, reshaping how I see the sculpture and the decisions I make. Rather than resolving into a single state of being, the finished forms hold multiple meanings simultaneously, reflecting the layers of human experience while capturing fleeting moments.
