Sculpture begins and ends with an insight. Insight
is a moment of illuminated thinking in which beauty, present
in ordinary existence, is revealed to the imagination. That
beauty, created by our bodies and beings, is what I hope to
convey through my sculptures. I try to capture moments of everyday
world that are at once transient and transcendent, that may
easily go unnoticed but turn out to have universal significance
when perceived. We must allow ourselves to feel awe at these
insights, sculptor and viewer alike, in order to return to a
richer, deeper human experience. After all, art offers us a
single most direct form of communication: from one human being
to another. It is the highest form of hope.
