I have always been inspired by the mobiles of Alexander Calder, and I try to capture the same lightness and grace in my own sculptures.
However, being a physicist, I am also interested in bringing invisible, abstract ideas to life and giving them tangible form. Mapping the space between the poetic and the analytic is the unspoken subject of my work.
My sculptures range in size from miniature wall mobiles to room-filling installations, and I employ a variety of materials: metal, wood, stone, polymer clay, paper, and found objects. I work primarily with a geometric vocabulary, arranging blocks of color into compositions that are both organized and flexible. Indeed, it is this balance between stability and chaos, control and movement, that animates my work and my imagination.
I am also on the Greater Ithaca Art Trail at www.ArtTrail.com
