Artist's Comments
I am proud to be a sculptor. I have been an artist my entire life but discovered in college that sculpture was my passion. I create “non-objective” sculptures with the goal of combining organic and geometric forms to create dichotomy and to suggest a sense of kinesthetic energy. I believe that the viewer should let the title of the sculpture suggest the direction the artist is taking, then interpret what the piece means to them. The piece exhibited in this show is called “Ascension” and it was created as a tribute to my twin brother who passed away. At the end of life I believe we all “ascend” into a new place and this sculpture is my interpretation of that journey.
