Hand Carved Sculpture
"I look at life as a series of metaphors. Metaphors can be like visual models that can help us in the understanding of our placement in life when overlayed onto varied environments . They can act as visual schematics. I feel symbology is an important part of the human experience. We can anchor ourselves to images to make changes in our lives or to remind us of what is most important. There have been past civilizations that have used visual models/symbols to move the whole culture in a new direction. In fact, on a more detailed level, there are certain civilizations where the simple curve of a line dictated the characteristic of an entire period of time. The Renaissance was such a time... where the style of a curve represented the feeling of the whole culture."
