Artist Statement
My work stems from an ongoing investigation of the relationship of sculpture to the apparent movement of the sun. The forms of these pieces are all contained within the forms described by the sun in its yearly travels. Each piece presents a deliberate harmony between its static elements and its moving shadows. While each piece may be viewed as static sculpture, their full forms are contained in the slow interplay of shadow to form from dawn to dusk, through the yearly cycle.
My current sculptures are fragments of interlocking spheres. They grow from a premise or first move, one conic band joining another. Each subsequent move adds form and limits to the whole. The finished piece is a balance of the sculptural intent and the alignments of the spheres
