Artist Statement

This body of work evolved from an exploration into the foundation of classical Greek and Roman sculpture. At the foot of these heavy yet delicate stone pieces often lies a tree, an unnoticed support, the solid foundation that allowed the sculpture to stand. It was often unnoticed, the unexplored, yet instrumental to the structure of the form. In this work it is used as a metaphor for what goes unseen but is essential to our existence.
