Abstract
I use my sculptures to explore a variety of dualities and dichotomies within the Self through formal and material relationships. I am interested in both the rough and the refined, the stable and the precarious, the intuitive and the analytical -- I am fascinated by the points where these contrasting tendencies meet. I juxtapose organic, ambiguous vessels with architectonic structures to create a complex landscape of forms that encourages intent observation and asks the viewer to consider their position within society and the wider natural world. I strive to find balance, both within my practice and the work itself. I am interested in the subtle and unobtrusive beauty that emerges from the thoughtful confluence of contrasting elements. When these elements are brought into harmony, they produce a tranquil beauty that encourages reflection in the viewer. Within my practice, I work to balance intention and emergence; intuition and analysis; my role as artist, as student, as teacher. To strive for balance is to strive to become more oneself. When these contrasting elements are brought together within exhibition, their impact is intensified.
