Artist's Statement

“[Communal Architecture] is not produced by a few intellectuals or specialists but the spontaneous and continuing activity of a whole people with a common heritage, acting under a community of experience.”  
                                                                            Pietro Belluschi, architect


The subject and content of my work explores the relationship between our architectural environment and the human condition recounting how one reflects the experiences of the other.  Architecture is an extension of who we are.  It defines our culture, our heritage and our values. Architecture itself is not alive until it is occupied and affected by the experiences of the living, thus beginning a new existence.  This notion that human intervention gives life to an otherwise inorganic or nonliving entity best describes my relationship with my material and my work.
