As a conceptual sculptor, I use form to invite the viewer to look inside my
pieces. I believe what's going on
inside my work (and inside people) is much more interesting and important than the outer form.
My abstract works, as well as my more recent figurative pieces, invite viewers to look inside for symbols and
often evoke emotions in the viewer, allowing them to confront those feelings.
My works cover a wide range of emotions, from fierce and wrenching to light and whimsical. The DUNIES (families
of creatures who reside in the Dunes of Northwestern Indiana) which I created, speak to our inner child and invite
it to come out and enjoy a rich fantasy life. At the other end of the spectrum, my work about the conflicts in
the Balkans reflects the grief associated with profound losses in life.
It's not important that we (the artist and viewer) have the same experiences; what is important is that we relate
to a similar emotion. If my work can touch the emotions and experiences of others, I am fulfilled as an artist.
