My work as a sculptor chronicles my daily life experiences.
Some are very personal, reflecting love, hope, longing, along with grief and despair.... Others are my critical observations of how I experience the outside world. In essence, capturing themes that deeply move me- racism, institutionalized inequalities, the steady elimination of women's rights, child abuse, poverty, and drug addiction.
Yet , where there is darkness there is light , hence I am trying to balance these haunting images by attempting to also capture the beauty that exists around us all, such as the inaudible power of Love and Oneness, or - for fun - shining some light on women's obsession with our own bodies and the irreversible effects of aging...
My never ending challenge remains: Depicting the invisible .
