Artist’s statement
Artworks can bring a public place into focus by linking its natural environment with the history that has played out over the land. Public art at its best, creates a work that stimulates reverie and affords us a fresh look at our surroundings. The art plays a supportive role to the community’s experience of the place itself.
Our environment and the vast, inter-connecting structures that sustain it, are of great interest to me. Whether the scale is minute or monumental, the systems within nature that branch, divide, and repeat are infinitely fascinating.
