From the Artist

My work is the opposite of organic. I'm inspired by cities. In cities, I always know where I am. I like the pattern of city grids, the manhole covers, the trolley lines, the tread of tires, sidewalks and streets, street lights, the shape of the buildings. My materials tend to be urban, too. When I need color, I go to Home Depot or True Value…I see myself as a sculptor who makes prints and drawings. I have a vocabulary of shapes, not a palette of colors, like a painter.
