For the last 30 years, sculpture making has been the discipline through which I have engaged a singular vision. The theme of my life's work was born from a childhood fascination with dinosaurs and the archaeology of the Mesozoic period, which inspired my fantasy of our modern human world being unearthed thousands of years from now as an archaeological relic. The idea that modern humanity will also become part of the fossil record has influenced my work ever since.

This perspective led to my fascination with industrial archaeology, abandoned buildings, shipwrecks, weathered surfaces, and decay. I imagine our technologies, monuments, and everyday objects far into the future, fragmented and reclaimed by natural forces.

I make abstract and figurative sculpture by combining resin, plaster, and concrete with found materials. My palette includes bones, circuit boards, toy cars, religious statuary, machine parts, remnants of plastic model kits, and antique oddities. I collect these materials from junk shops, walks, and everyday encounters with discarded objects. I think of them as letters in an alphabet, and my challenge is to arrange them in ways that say something transcendent.

My work grows out of a search for relationships between objects and the metaphors that emerge when they are combined. Through assemblage, these materials become artifacts of a speculative archaeology. I am particularly interested in the contrast between natural and manufactured forms—the human body, tree roots, and bones merged with architecture, machinery, and technological fragments. I think of myself as a conduit for conversations between the objects in my collection. 

My figurative works often begin with plaster or concrete casts of the human body, which I combine with natural and industrial elements such as skulls, roots, gears, and antique cruciforms. Weathered patinas give the sculptures the appearance of age, erosion, and decay.

The intersection of the synthetic and organic, the manufactured and primal, forms the foundation of my investigation. Through the deterioration of technology, the majesty and vulnerability of the human body, and the tension between our intellectual brilliance and primal origins, I explore impermanence. Rust, fragmentation, and decay become reminders of the fragile grace that runs through all things.

My deepest intention is to create artwork that conveys the magic, horror, and wonder of what it means to be human in our time.
