The following information was provided by the artist unless otherwise noted.
Energy and the environment have been underlying themes uniting my art. They have led me to use technology to create mythological metaphors in work such as Sun Altar, a solar water integrated sculpture. In my neon pieces, I can directly mold the pure energy of light and color. My recent works of painted sculptures/sculptured paintings are the creation of environments of lustrous colors, sensuous shapes, and magical geometries. The hyperbolic paraboloid structures of the relief sculptures create virtual geometric, infinitely varying spaces that evoke ritual and mythological time frames. The materials used in these reliefs are not traditional stone and bronze. They are lengths of wood, stainless steel, electric light, mirrors, stones, metal canisters, netting, and phenol plastic or neon. Crossing boundaries in art has always begun with exploration of the many materials before the formal problems are resolved. Drawing, prints, and watercolor are often the precursors.
