My fascination with geometry and abstraction is based in an attempt to control forms because of an inability to control certain facets of my reality. My work is a response to dramatic changes in my life and demonstrates my inner struggle with perfectionism and control. I am drawn to geometry and simplified forms because they exemplify the possibility to dominate and minimize the complex. The soft, organic forms serve as a relief from the throes of the strict order of the geometric pieces. My work juxtaposes clean lines and crisp geometric forms with unconstrained organic shapes. Contrast often manifests through form, surface detail, and color. I simplify imagery, reducing it to abstraction. My installations are primarily created using molds, slip casting, and hand building in clay.
