I have always been fascinated with the geometry, construction and function of common, industrially manufactured objects.  My primary interest is sculptural, not utilitarian.  Yet, my creative endeavors align themselves with functionalism, the philosophy that form should be adapted to use, material and structure. 

To a greater or lesser degree there exists a material and cultural relationship between the object maker, the object and the audience.  I am using the vernacular of utility and function as a way of conveying ideas about material, form, content and culture, and as a way of potentially altering the viewer’s preconceived ideas of what utility is or what function can imply.  It is through the creation of one-of-a-kind sculptural forms that I am able to evoke a “found object” appearance.  While pursuing this line of research I am paying homage to the many anonymous hands and unseen processes that create the industrially manufactured objects with which we regularly interact.
