I rarely start
with a function in mind. I am usually prompted by the inherent
qualities of the material and I also try to express my interest in
the relationship between mass and line. I strive for my work to
convey a sense of dynamism and movement without being mechanical.
My newest work concentrates on the material used: using fine
silver to evoke a feeling of fragility, rough lines are scribed
and burnt into the surface of this precious metal. These fragile
forms are then trapped into various landscapes of steel, pearwood,
maple and plaster. |
