| The
driving force of my work would be summarized by
the equation, movement + materials = form.
Fascinated with movement, kinesthetics and the
basic laws of motion I work from the premise that
the understanding of movement can be revealed
through repetition. Beginning with the body,
combining materials with movement, my work
synthesizes a personal history and deep connection
to body movement informing kinetic sculpture,
drawings and video that are both experiential and
interactive. |

My
present projects investigate the place where solid
science collides with the sublime. This
quest for the magical moment where physics and
spirituality intersect, where awe is directed at
subjects considered to be more powerful than the
objects. These projects choreograph time and
space where terror and fear converge with
veneration and wonder, where flight and
anti-gravity serve as metaphors for the state of
suspension, meditation and layered interpretation. |
