I create forms that feel as if they’ve been caught mid-movement and made permanent. 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 lineage, I push the material toward a contemporary language of gesture, movement, and abstraction.
Each piece begins as a gestural expression of motion that emerges from moments of lived experience. As I carve, that gesture evolves and becomes a rhythm the viewer can feel, a motion that evokes an emotion they recognize without needing it explained. The forms bend, fold, and rise as if pulled from a fluid medium. Negative space, along with the tension between fluidity and permanence, acts as an equal partner in the composition, allowing the sculptures to move and inviting the viewer into the rhythm of each piece.
The forms remain intentionally ambiguous. Meaning is not fixed but accumulates through experience, allowing each viewer to form their own associations as they move around the piece.
