Artist's Statement
Although I continue to work in a variety of media (assemblage, painting, drawing, prints), I keep returning to this reductive sculpture technique. Carving wood is a very old tradition. My spirit finds nourishment in this paradoxical practice of following an ancient path to a new place.
Vessels were among the first forms I carved when I began making sculpture over forty years ago. In the summer of 2010, I began making them again.
