ARTIST'S STATEMENT

The Untitled series integrates organic, gourd-like shapes with industrial associations to evoke questions of what is natural to an environment, thus energizing their surroundings with the tension and mystery of an alien object unexpectedly discovered in a familiar landscape.  Like a lighthouse or beacon, their vertical forms remain consistent when viewed from any angle.  The absence of punctuation on their surfaces, with no evidence of the hand of the artist, serves to present objects without a discernible origin, history, or purpose.
