Artist's Statement:
I cannot walk past a beautiful stone, or a gnarled and weathered piece of wood without picking it up, holding it, wanting to keep it. I started making my driftwood constructions as a way to make a place for these found treasures. To somehow create some order, or purpose, for these naturally worn, softened, nomadic bits of wood; to bring them home. For many years I built architectural models and making shadow boxes is similar. I love the fine meditative work of arranging the pieces, choosing the right color, and floating it in space. I attempt to draw attention to the uniqueness of each piece of driftwood, evoking the sea and the sky that formed them, without detracting from their inherent beauty.
I work in a studio in New York City, and in most of my work I bring the outdoors, in. Water, wind, leaves, pine needles, furry creatures, swimmers, feathers, fish, nudes, are recurring subjects that inspire me.
