Statement

My work is a representation of myself and experiences. My Influences are an accompilation of my surroundings, interests, and infatuations. One predominant reoccuring theme in my work deals with appendages especially the leg, and the abstractions and truncations of the forms.
Another large factor in my process deals with the preliminary drawings. The linear graphical quality of them helps me to visualize the two dimensional piece into a three dimensional reality. They also help me to see all the possibilities I have to work with for a particular form.
