Statement

My work is emotionally inspired and viscerally created to capture the essence of my message. With destruction as a vehicle for creation and my custom mix of various cements, aggregates, pigments and other additives, I compose in every state of development: modeling cement like clay, molding it like plaster and carving it like stone until honesty of content and craft are achieved. The concrete may fracture and crumble in response to my handling. When the result is a naturally defined form, it changes from ordinary medium to an object with a life of its own making the material and process integral to the final image. This notion that human intervention gives life to an otherwise nonliving entity best describes my relationship with my material and my work.
