Artist Statement:To find a link with nature and the man-made world, by examining the structure inherent in the world, and the need for structure in man. Most things in nature have an internal or external structure and there is beauty in the architecture of its form, functionality, and movement. Abstract geometric forms with organic nuances, although some pieces are more naturalistic, and at some level there is that part of me that thrives for the innocence of youth and the fantasy in nature and organic forms.Structure is necessary in Man and Nature, whether for shelter or purely life giving. Trees have a trunk to support their many branches, snails have a shell to shelter them, and many organisms have a strong yet fragile internal skeleton that maintains their movement and existence. The structures we create are a link between Nature and Man. We need structure physically and mentally. As architects of our own lives we maintain our structure as we should natures, for Natures Will always wins over our Natural biological and Man-made structures in the end.
