"I am fascinated by the marks of humankind. Sometimes I use parts of pieces of written communications to create my own visual alphabet. Using a fragment of a recognizable letterform creates a new form of pictograph. A lost word is transformed and the curious viewer is engaged in its content. I sometimes think of my sculpture as a three dimensional Haiku using the alphabet of pictographs. Other times I use the innate but overlooked characteristic of steel as a recording medium to codify my own abstract language, whether through landscape, portrait, or some other sculptural form."
