"My present sculptural work, which has evolved from the disciplines of pottery, is constructed from shapes thrown on the potters wheel, then assembled into more complex forms. These forms are used as three dimensional picture planes, usually being entirely covered by intricate, black and white drawings. The synchronous integration of surface drawing and sculptural form, is my main formal and conceptual mission. By maintaining a simple process which utilizes few materials, I am compelled to develop the conceptual component of my work. I feel this system of constants and variables has been vital to the maturation of my art. While I appreciate conceptual art, my own work is laborious and time consuming. Hopefully, the time invested in each piece results in an object that is imbued with energy that is engaging and thought provoking. I am interested in imagery that is personal, but hopefully has universal relevance, and addresses current issues in a metaphorical way that will be relevant in the future. My sensibilities as an artist are largely shaped by an intense interest in popular culture, but one that is tempered by my residence in a rural state where mans relationship with the natural world is tactile and intimate."
