I
Rotifer, encaustic on ceramics & steel wire, 2002"My latest work deals with a search for harmony.Through the juxtaposition of form,
proportion, color and material, I strive to create an image or object that while devoid of
literal meaning, still manages to convey an idea or evoke a feeling.
The sculptural work comes from my fascination with materials and their surfaces. I use
weathered wood, steel and stone to construct small wall objects that have a similar system
and visual language I developed for the encaustic paintings.Visual fields of raw steel versus wood,
oxidized versus clear-coated steel, stone versus metal are organized in an attempt to tell a story.
Inspiration comes either from inherent features, marks, etc. of the materials, or with a
deliberate intent to manipulate them to represent a particular idea.
Among my artistic influences, I can cite the work of Richard Serra, Ellsworth Kelly, Robert
Mangold, Sean Scully, Suzanne Caporeal and Joanne Mattera.Their works deal with material, color,
and form in a way that I feel and understand."
