Art is about relationships, discovery and seeing things in a new way - suggestions from the soul, tempered with intellect. The relationship begins with an object or concept which metamorphoses through the artist's experience - through the process until completion. At this point it becomes its own entity with its own identity. The relationship is then between the artwork and the viewer with his or her own set of ideas and life experiences. Most of my work is about contrast and growth - the materials suggest, then I react, agonize, reason, compose and construct. I find the use of the found objects, natural and somewhat inelegant materials to reflect on the wear of life, offering a strong contrast to an ever increasingly plastic and chrome society. A sort of tattered elegance which, though of contemporary origin, emerges ageless.

Inspiration for my work comes from the mystique of the individual objects. Significant meaning is bestowed upon the objects as they are culled from my emotions, memories, and experiences. The process of discovery is heightened as discarded parts, lost in time and usefulness, become new as a whole. The objects have a power with their existence which, when juxtaposed in new ways, create unique thoughts and ideas. These clues activate the imagination of the artist and viewer alike. For a brief moment this accretion of objects and meaning is no longer lost in time.
