My art has always been a building upon and a taking apart. When I first began making sculptures, I would begin with one object. That object would be the hidden definition of my piece.  Within all of my works lives this beginning. This moment. I began working with found objects in part, as a rebellion against clean materials.  I wanted to work with objects that had a history.  I needed to take the rusted, the decaying, and the deteriorating and give them a new life.  In this new life the objects transcend into the embodiment of motion and life.  The final piece and the beginning object have a symbiotic relationship.  The sculpture gains the foundation of the first object’s history and the first object gains renewed life through the expression of the sculpture.  In many of my works that beginning piece can only be seen through the final form of the sculpture.

Motion is a continuum. Within this continuum is a constant struggle between potential and actual. I am working towards a pure expression of the conflict between that which is actual and that which is potential.  The process of working towards this pure expression is what I call art. It has neither beginning nor end, it is continual. Life, in itself, is a moment in the continuum of motion.  When I am creating a sculpture I feel that I am truly participating in this continuum.
