I am fascinated by forms that are both mathematical, like parabolas or spirals, and that also appear in nature, like waves or flight trajectories. In my sculpture, I take the basic principles inherent in these forms and interpret and play with them, allowing each piece to evolve in an intuitive way. I use a process of accretion, creating pieces through multiple layers of wood. By varying the thickness and angle of each layer in minute increments, I make shapes that curve and twist, that both contain and activate space. Through this process, I am striving to pare down form to its fundamental essence.
