Artist Statement

In my recent work, "The Temple Series," I hope to invoke in the viewer a sense of sacred space, of retreating, of reflection. By constructing a space with abstract geometric steel forms, referencing architecture, games, and toys, "The Temple Series" generates a bodily response from both structural and compositional strategies.
