Artist Commentary

Label

"My pieces attempt to communicate a sense of invisible life within seemingly inanimate forms; a hidden current of vitality through the universe with an order and harmony like the "music of the spheres." These somewhat realistic structures follow their own natural laws, inhabit their own spaces, and interact serenely beyond our conscious awareness. "Incantation" is influenced by a sense of the manifestation of the spiritual in the physical world. Light streams from an outside source, to be contained, and to inspire, wherever it is willingly received."
