This is my account for my portfolio of stone sculptures from 2000-2011.

Artist Statement

My sculptures are organic, non-representational forms created by working directly with the stone in both the sculpting and creative processes. They offer no philosophies or political messages, intending purely to be works that draw people to the stone and stir whispers of desire. Through the sculptures, I explore feelings of sensuality and beauty without finding recourse in sexual symbolism.

My latest body of work has been developed exclusively in alabaster, and the nature of the stone adds layers of complexity to the sculptures. While the sculptures compel people to touch them, the softness of the stone necessitates restraint. I am also intrigued by the translucency offered by some alabasters, and increasingly push the limits of the delicacy of my sculptures because of it.
