Working
in response to the context of a specific site or situation with
the intent of extending the significance of that context, I
use a variety of media to create sculpture for exhibitions,
installations, collaborative performances, and public commissions.
For site-responsive work "on the pedestal", I transform
maps of specific locations into vessel forms and objects. Natural
features and relevant associations coincide to imply, question,
and explore meaning.
