My series; Secret Life of… reflects on the organic flow of life, death, decay and rebirth.
Representational sculpture mixing hand formed tree branch ceramics, raku post fire reduction, hand forged steel, copper, and glass. The body of my work centers around the use of molten heat on these natural materials.
Currently, I am focusing on the surface of the "skin" of the tree; adding unexpected detail and embellishments to create the juxtaposition of surreal yet real - ridged yet fragile, masculine yet feminine intrigues and inspires me to strive for in my work.
