Artist's Statement
My most recent work focuses on incorporating the aesthetics of the ocean, process, and minimalist concepts to create a visually pleasing experience for the viewer. Similar processes were used in the creation of the installations to evoke visual depth that was directly inspired by the ocean environment. There has been a shift from more subjective forms to forms that provide a better surface to experiment with new techniques. By incorporating the minimalist concepts of an engaged viewer and literal representation, the forms exist to provide a surface for the viewer to engage without being distracted by subject matter. The installations were designed and fabricated in a way that the pieces have a relationship within each installation that affect how the viewer sees each piece in context to the other pieces.
