The persistent element in my work over the past ten years has been a craftsmanlike use of a geometric system as an approach to subject matter, sometimes taking advantage of repetition to develop a progression or transformation. I have evolved from formal, non-objective object-making in stainless steel and plastics to a more literal expression dealing with the geological landscape and earth processes, which I realized in clay. The most recent work is a healthy distillation of these two concerns. While I continue to make objects in a variety of materials, the thrust of my recent work has been with large-scale temporary installation work in sand. These installations are basically repetitious of a very precise module, forming the dry, loose sand into highly organized and complex patterns, which to me suggest landscape surfaces. I am passionate about my work.

Volumetric Progression is one of a small series of works in various materials which deals with the creation of spatial volumes contained within and created through the use of repetition. I was interested in the light reflective and refractive quality of Lucite and how these qualities created illusions and confusion as to what was material and what was space.
