Spilling Out, 2026
Wire, fiber 5" x 5" x 8"
Human beings are not designed to be bombarded by so many problems at once, many of which are completely out of our control or are so large that we feel helplessness. Emotions spill out despite the fact that we try to keep them in check and under control.

Protecting, 2025

Vortex, 2025
Wire and fiber 10.5" x 12" x 8"
Vortex represents the type of energy swirl we can get caught up in, a part of life. As one who has a chronic pain companion at times, I work to calm my swirling mind and emotions to a more calm and stable place.

Crushed, 2025
Wire, fiber Each cube (9) 2.75" x 2.75" x 2.75"
Crushed takes a classic form and distorts it by crushing the perfection of the dimensions. Perfection is overrated and at times in our lives the beauty of the imperfect form continues to shine brightly.

Cinched, 2025
Wire, fiber, beads 12" x 8" x 10"
Cinched is a loosely arranged woven metal fabric that is softly pleated and held together with antique copper beads. The form can be wound into a tight spiral or can be opened up into a more loose form, reflecting how our energy can feel at various times.

Inflammatory, 2024
Wire, fiber 13" x 10" x 11"
Inflammatory displays how pain can feel sharp and hot in our bodies. When we have homeostasis, the cells and muscles feel smooth and aligned - energy flows easily and the green color represents harmony and growth in the body. The sharp contrast of the red, spiky and angular elements is creeping into the harmonious part of the sculpture.

Trapped Pain, 2023
Wire, found object Each cube 4" x 4" x 4"
Trapped pain illustrates the frustration and anxiety about chronic pain. This is the beginning of a series referencing the relationship between chronic pain and new scientific findings in neuroscience that reveal chronic pain resides in overactive neural pathways instead of in the body.

Wheel of Wonder, 2023
Wire, fiber 7" x 7" x 7"
Wheel of Wonder has a changeable nature depending on which angle it is viewed from. In this time of strong disagreement, it is hoped that looking at a situation from another angle can provide the viewer with a new vantage point to consider.
