I fabricate sculptural constructions because it is the synthesis of my passions. The forms are the integration of architecture, music, and nature. My method is not to imitate nature. It is conceived as a parallel structural creative process. Insight gained during the creation of each work provides the inspiration for the next. I continue to search for expressive relationships as of yet unexplored. I work with the materials, history, and geography of the Midwest, while seeking to communicate universal themes through these explorations. The meaning of the work is inherent in the physical properties and formal relationships experienced by the individual encountering it.
