My sculptures are tales about the various journeys that shape the human condition. They illustrate both a celebration of flesh as well as the vulnerability of flesh. They often have a sensual or seductive nature while, at the same time, exposing our weaknesses and flaws, giving them the ability to repulse and attract simultaneously. We are all vulnerable to the lure of our own realities, memories, and past experiences; therefore my work has theatrical and surreal characteristics, illustrating the power of the subconscious. As humans we often cling to things that are precious to us, whether it is a relationship, object, or sense of security. We often disregard the tenuousness of security and stability, until the bubble bursts.
