My work explores the naturally occurring rhythmic repetition and variation present in nature, described by science and mathematics and echoed in daily personal existence. With repetition, it is possible to objectively observe the rhythms of individual experience both personally and within the constraints of one’s communities. Each of my pieces is at once a meditation on personal exploration, the interconnectedness of individuals, and the greater forces of Life itself. Just as I watch a piece unfold as it is created, I hope that each piece manifests slowly to the viewer, increasingly revealing its hand-worked existence. This temporal experience of introspection, inquiry, reflection, and pleasure connects me with the work and the viewer. I hope the intimacy of each piece sparks internal contemplation in the viewer as part of a more complex and responsive experience – just as with an individual’s interaction and connections within the fabric of their community and society.
