My work has always seemed cut out for me. I give myself
assignments or I take commissions to find challenges to make heroic
work in which the themes must be expressed with beauty and with irony.
Light touches on dark subjects help me break away what’s monolithic
or opaque. No thing, for me, embodies mystery, gives life to clay, or
conveys narrative enduringly as can the human form. Loving to sculpt
and to manipulate ideas, I’m happiest when I can give new meaning
to old urges, or can warm a concept into art that’s worth the
weight.
