Octagonal sculpture build, steel, 2025
I’ve only ever viewed my process as additive. This is the first sculpture where I’m deliberately subtracting material.
The time-consuming, yet transformative, phase is creating “windows” by removing the rod between the diamond shapes.

one thing I love about sculpture: no matter how measured and meticulous I am, I never really know just what it will look like when it all comes together.

l'm realizing I have never fully explored pattern in three-dimensions, and it feels like something I need to do.

The piece got heavier and heavier as I added density. I figured out strategies to maneuver it. I have no idea how much it weighs but I can lift it (for short periods held at a very specific angle). To reposition it, I drag it slightly over the edge of my workbench, then push it up and away from me.

Being an artist is giving order to chaos without trying to control it.
