| I seek ease of movement and spatial harmony in my steel mesh and metal ribbon sculpture, akin to what Matisse called “arabesque.” The interplay of the steel mesh with its environment, often including the cast shadow, allows me to capture the unique essence of the entire subject. The nature of the steel mesh diffuses the importance of mass, allowing me to emphasize inner muscular tension, sometimes through distortion. This creates a shadow that resembles an ink drawing. In the case of steel ribbons, I enclose volume as if a hand envelops a cloud. Mass becomes fluid, creating muscle-like tension as it flows along the ribbons. |
