Born: Farmington, New Mexico
Lives: Houston, Texas
The physical world that surrounds us is a language formed by layers of time, choice, and chance. I see its variety and strangeness as a mirror for the private, craggy world inside each of us.
I use sculpture as a tool for creating connections between the ordinary stuff of everyday life and the singularity of human experience, from the wonderful mess of a construction site to the way the sunlight spreads in the morning. By condensing references from the familiar landscape into sculptural forms, I try to put my finger on the magical mundane.
