Description
In the dance between constructivism, cubism, and the very essence of materiality, my artistic journey unfolds. It’s not just about creating sculptures; it’s a personal dialogue with the material, an intimate conversation where every stroke, every manipulation, breathes life into a unique form.
My process is a holistic immersion, a symphony of charcoal sketches, clay models, and the transformative melding of glass. What sets my work apart is the profound connection I cultivate with the material as it undergoes its metamorphosis. It’s not just about shaping the exterior; it’s about predicting the interplay of light, color, and space within and around the form.
Glass, with its dual nature, fascinates me. It’s not just a medium; it’s a dynamic storyteller with multiple surfaces that playfully dance with the light. As the exterior is polished, the interior reciprocates, becoming a mirror that reflects and redirects light, creating a mesmerizing interplay of planes and surfaces.
My forms, born from simplified architectural components, decorative embellishments, and geometry juxtaposed with nature, carry a nonreferential scale, evoking a monumental feeling irrespective of their physical size. The architectural essence serves a dual purpose, insinuating scale while allowing for the exploration of negative space as a vital part of the composition.
The journey begins with swift sketches, capturing the raw energy of initial ideas. Whether retaining the freshness of these sketches or refining compositions through more formal drawings, I aim to preserve the authenticity of the maker’s marks. Each sculpture is a visual narrative, a passage for the viewer to embark on, discovering not just the exterior aesthetics but delving into the interior activation of space and shapes.
I aspire to create sculptures that transcend the ordinary—a contemplative pause amid the hustle of daily life. These pieces are crafted to invite meditation on beauty, a journey where each glance yields new discoveries. The play of light and movement within the form ensures that as the viewer interacts, the sculpture breathes, evolves, and remains a source of inspiration—a shared aesthetic journey between creator and collector. Each piece is a testament to the dynamic interplay between the viewer, the artwork, and the ever-shifting light that breathes life into form.
