"Working within a tradition that is several millennia old, I am moved by a notion advanced by art critic Donald Kuspit, who proposed that sculpture was “metaphor making in three dimensions”. My intention is to extend the figurative tradition through metaphor: to compare human form to other aspects of experience and in so doing to express metaphysical ideas of balance, tension, and temporality. Sources of inspiration can be wildly diverse: calligraphy, modern dance, plant and landforms, and the work of other artists, ancient to contemporary."
