artist statement
I'm a
digital sculptor, using metal and glass to create abstract geometries
in space. This work explores order in space: tensions between inside
and outside, the point at zero and the point at infinite distance,
how the dimensional axes can be alike and different. I got interested
in these things as an undergraduate in mathematics, wanting to cross
over from formal abstractions into working with physical shapes, and
sculpture gave me the way.
I'm often asked whether these pieces are based on logic or intuition.
If this is a multiple-choice question, it's not an easy one: let's
say that my intuition operates with mathematics at the back of its
mind. The process is pure analog - I push things with my hands until
they look good to my eyes - but the results show that my creative
engine is inextricably fused with geometrical intuition. My work is
to explore and extend the fertile region between sculpture and mathematics
