Artist StatementIn sculpture, my goal is to create something alluring and magnetic, but also challenging. I attempt to challenge the viewer into a relationship with the object in front of them.I use various forms and colours to both enhance and diminish the properties I hope to instill in the finished object.Allure - DeterEntice - RepelStrength - FragilityTransparence - OpacityBy juxtaposing these contrasts, I hope to make a beautiful and beguiling object. Perhaps this object can then nudge the viewer towards a heightened awareness of their relationships to the people and world around them.
