Artist statement
Concepts
My work is usually made of glass, steel and stainless steel. This work includes free standing sculptures, illuminated sculptures, wall mounted constructions, sand carving and acid etching. My ideas and image source are eclectic. The basic structures in my work are derived from my love of mathematics and geometry and from forms found in nature and our built environment.
Influences
Mathematics, geometry, engineering, fabrication, architecture, light, futuristic, sculpture, glass, sandblasting, abstract, acid etching
