Artist Statement

My current body of work, which lies somewhere between drawing and sculpture, is created with stainless steel wire that I weave using a simple loom, the design of which dates back to the Bronze Age. The task of building of a grid, line by line, is a methodical and repetitive process imbued with inherent flaws and disruptions. Like a large drawing, the components are made up of hundreds of small mark-like intersections that together coalesce into a form that at times seem to take on an almost pixelated effect. The resulting woven scrims are shaped into malleable forms, gestures in space that at times seem to shimmer, making the work seem shifting and elusive. Painting the pieces further transforms the material, neutralizing the cold, shiny, hardness of the steel, and amplifying a sense of the ephemeral. Traces of nature and time are embedded in much of my work. The woven wire forms suggest movement and states of flux, including meandering waterways, roads, pathways, and trails of climate change and pollution. Referencing both the organic and the man-made, the natural and the technical, they abstractly resemble objects shaped or ravaged by wind and rain over time, illustrations of string theory, or a CAD model gone awry.
