I celebrate the figure as a powerful and sensuous metaphor. I’m interested in visual opposites coexisting, and the fine line between order and chaos, tension and release, and the visual play between three-dimensional form and abstraction. A rough line defines a soft breast, a soft line defines a chiseled profile, and a solid body seems light and ethereal while a moving gesture is caught in time like a stone statue. The female form is a metaphor for all that is real that seems unreal, ugly that seems beautiful, innocent that seems provocative and safe that seems precarious.
