Exploring Aspects of Nature

Currently my work has found expression within the details of the natural world. They are a repetition of the forms found in nature, the veined intricacy of leaves, the rough texture of tree bark, and the smooth, flowing forms of water washing against trees and rocks.

Within my pieces my fascination with the boundless colours displayed in the natural world and my absorption in the endless minutia of cellular structures and complex living entities finds expression. Through the metals that are my materials and the process used to create, I try to simultaneously capture and explore the livings aspects of nature.

From the colours of the metal I discover anew the vibrant hues of the plants and the seasons. From the weight and strength of the metal I feel the solidity and permanence of nature's eternal cycles.

My goal is to recreate and capture the vibrant living essence of nature in eternal metals to be preserved for all time.
