My sculptures give physical form to experiences that are difficult to put into words. Working primarily in bronze, I explore the body as a place where memory, vulnerability, and change become visible. A gesture, a fracture, or an empty space can carry an emotional presence. In 2000, the emergence of post-traumatic stress changed my relationship with making. Sculpture became a way to encounter what I was carrying within me. This process led to Idols of the Sun, an ongoing sculptural journal begun in 2002. Each work holds a particular inner state while leaving room for the viewer’s own associations. I am drawn to the relationship between what a sculpture contains and what it leaves open. Emptiness is an active part of the work: a space for breath, uncertainty, and possibility. Bronze allows me to hold fragile gestures in a lasting material, preserving the immediacy of touch. My practice moves between intimate objects and large-scale public works. As a sculpture enters shared space, a personal experience becomes available to others. I want the work to offer a moment of recognition, a place to pause, feel, and imagine the possibility of transformation.
