Making "mixed" media sculptures enables me to express intangible ideas and feelings. The disparate objects used in creating my sculptural pieces make them read somewhat like a 3-D rebus. Sometimes I choose objects that seem potent with multiple connotations - other times I simply like the shape and form they make.

Writhing branch forms are one of the reoccurring elements in these pieces. Some branches are manipulated way beyond their original form, others are used as they are found. I use the sticks to create "energy" and movement in and around the pieces.
