I am a maker of objects, moments, spaces and collective learning. 

As a child my first places of creation and discovery were the cottonwoods behind our cabin in Alaska.  Surrounded by landscapes of infinite awe, these encounters were framed by personal and collective capacity: we built cabins, started schools, and believed that the land and its original inhabitants had rights and ways of doing things that were instructive, self-evident and worth paying attention to.

Now as a sculptor I work with elemental ingredients including bronze, paper, salt, beeswax, fabric and wood.  I relish the ways in which these archetypal materials have been used by humans since the beginning of time, and am amazed by the resilient desire we have for moments of beauty and making.

I am interested in building a world where art making is truly public, and where creativity is publicly held.

Perhaps in terms of evolution art making makes no sense.   But I think parts of us have survived because of this hunger to notice and touch something magnificent that we are somehow part of.
