2017 Walking Sculpture Tour
Zinger
Artist Statement:
My early career focused on figurative themes in bronze and cast stainless steel. My new work focuses on geometric shapes and segmented circle forms that depict or suggest things that we see and are familiar with but cannot touch or quantify. Inspired by curves depicted in life and nature, I like how they meander, cross over each other, and are more happily found in nature than straight lines. My emphasis on the circle as a thematic symbol portrays presence in everyday life.
