Artist Statement
In this project I tried to express my fascination with natural forms. Exotic fruits, shells, fossils, the human form and the landscape itself appeal to my visual and tactile senses. My work is really about expressing my feelings for such things in a mostly visual way. I think of sculpture as a way of experimenting with the three-dimensional world. I like to find out what happens if …?
At the same time I think of it as a way to explore the human mind. What is it capable of imagining? What can it produce that has never been produced before? My interest in pattern and geometry is always bubbling under the surface.
