artist statement

It is the textures – both visual and tactile – that draw me to metal and to weaving. The feel of metal has always drawn me in, whether wire or sheet, smooth or textured, hammered or woven. And the visual pull of woven metal just never ends for me. I have to get in closer, understand it, and of course, touch it. The relationship of different textures plays a significant role in my work – contrasting and complimentary textures add to the visual and tactile experience.
​
Current explorations are focusing on form – understanding how far I can push the materials and the techniques to achieve a form, as well as how similar forms look when rendered with different techniques and/or materials.

the studio

I am very fortunate to have studio space at Metalwerx, a wonderful metals/jewelry school and community studio in Waltham, MA. For work-in-progress photos, studio updates and current news, visit my facebook page.
