Artist Statement
ENTER A WORLD SOMEWHERE BETWEEN REAL AND IMAGINED
My abstract geometric wall sculptures blur the line between reality and imagination, unraveling mysteries and exploring the unknown. Logic bends and twists, sending the message that life is far from straightforward. It’s more like a nuanced landscape of compromise, questions, acceptance, mystery, and the unknown. I see it as a field of gray, punctuated by splashes of black and white. While gray may seem unassuming - even mundane - it is within this palette that my most profound life lessons have presented themselves. The work serves as a visual metaphor for the issues that impact me, from environmental concerns to global conflicts, and the quest for inner peace, to jolting events that alter life’s course, each piece presents aspects of my life experience. When viewers consider my ‘almost-but-not-quite-real’ world – I challenge them to ask themselves: What is it? Where it is? What do I see and feel? And do I find myself in it – or not.
