My work builds sculptural narratives that emerge from an abstract language of form, volume, and the interplay of textures and materials. They depict human relationships: the places where intimacy and restraint inhabit the same gesture, where tenderness and tension are inseparable. In 2023, I began weaving wire alongside carved wood. The pairing is deliberate: pliable woven structures set against the certainty and solidity of wood. Wire carries associations of binding, boundaries, and constriction. In these works, I redirect it toward protection, touch, and the idea of containment as care. Several pieces developed into the Dream Catchers: woven forms that shelter what is fragile and fleeting, structures built around the act of holding attention gently.
The structure of this sculpture plays with the idea of gravity and weight. It is soft yet firm, referencing body and movement.
In this sculpture, cedar and cement create a relationship informing each other through their structure and texture.
The described movement of this sculpture is in both the form and the use of oil paint.
