THE ARTIST’S STATEMENT -
"For several years, my work has explored a sculptural landscape where human
urges (libidinous, predatory and monstrous) are acted out by half-recognizable,
otherworldly surrogate creatures. The work reflects my interest in mutated,
hybrid forms, and the disjunctive psychological states that they represent.
I’ve explored these themes using a variety of media. These have included
traditional studio techniques, digital imaging, industrial manufacturing
processes, and children’s arts-and-crafts materials. A sense of play is key to
each of these creative strategies. For several years, the work has been largely
focused on polymer clay sculpture.
Since 2005, I have worked with painter Julie Hughes to create collaborative
mixed media installations that reflect our shared fascination with
reconstituted, fragmented biomorphic form. Installations typically interweave
Julie’s paintings on shaped sintra panels with my own polymer clay and
mixed-media sculptures across a backdrop consisting of cut vinyl wall drawings.
These environments explore the gray areas between seemingly distinct states of
being: the alluring and the repulsive; the playful and the threatening; and the
natural and the synthetic."
