I find drawing and painting too limiting in their singular viewpoint. When I visualize something in my head, it’s in-the-round. I want the viewer to experience my idea in it’s entirety, as I see it. I consider it a challenge to surprise viewers with little discoveries as they explore my works. I picture the form and how it relates, grows and functions as a whole, from many angles and elevations. I include details near the focus of the sculpt for people to find, making my works interactive. As the viewer wanders around a piece, the small details and discoveries come together as parts of a whole, revealing the story.
