Artist Statement
My work is an exploration and manipulation of organic, natural forms through sculpture. Each piece revolves around natural elements in my environment, but has been combined with industrial materials to depict the ways that nature and industry interact.
By combining natural, organic forms with industrial materials and processes, each sculpture encompasses the movement and growth found in nature, but with the use of industrial components becomes a rigid representation of its natural counterpart. The use of unnatural materials that have been industrially processed creates a contrast between the natural sources of inspiration and the inorganic materiality of the sculptures to show the constant cycle of growth and destruction that both nature and industry inflict on each other.
