About These Works

The use of wire screen as a sort of armature has allowed me to make durable sculptures which look soft--- that seem at once both inflated and deflated.

Many of them imply, but do not represent, bodies-- their plaster or resin surfaces suggest the wrinkling of skin or the rippling of fabric that both hides and reveals what is underneath, an interior that is simultaneously empty and full.

The earlier work with resins was translucent. When I briefly switched to plaster of Paris, my attraction to translucency was supplanted by a fascination with whiteness and the quality of light which it reflects.

The pieces with woodwork and “hands” poking out were inspired by our first year in Spain: the barrows and the farm implements and the marvelous inventions made by our neighbors’ hands
