Artist Statement:
Sculpting can be like playing jazz. With jazz, a particular and familiar chord structure is the starting place that musicians work from. With sculpting, that structure may be the particular shapes and feel of a familiar place. Both art forms allow a primary listening/viewing experience in ways that are as dependent upon the history and attitudes of the listener/viewer as the intent of the musician/sculptor. The song of the Southern Nevada desert is the chord structure here.
