My goal is to capture movement, emotion and intimacy through textured surfaces and torso angles. Shadows and surface treatment create dynamic energy in each sculptural effort. I have recently been inspired by the strength, balance, and contemplation of yoga poses: no ornamentation, only coiled energy while maintaining meditative stillness. My influences are some of the great 20th-century figurative artists, particularly Sir Jacob Epstein, whose powerful portrait sculptures used dappled surfaces to create depth of shadow, movement and expression.
