| Introduction | In my art practice I explore a wide variety of materials. My work is often experimental and short lived, characterized by attention to detail and finish. Part of my practice relies on natural materials found in nature to construct ephemeral forms which deteriorate back into the land over a short period of time. These forms rely on naturally occurring events such as wind, water, growth, decay and seasonal changes. My primary influences in regards to earthworks are Richard Long and Andy Goldsworthy. More recently my art has been centered on my fascination for mechanical movements and their parallels with human interaction. My sculpture titled “One” for example, is a romantic notion of two identical gears carved out of a block of Indiana limestone, representing male and female counterparts interlocking working as a whole; inspired by Constantin Brancusi’s “ The Kiss”. |
