A spark is ignited when two giant mesquite seeds are placed nose to nose. These two shapes, suggesting the
infinity sign, invite the viewer to explore how infinite possibilities spring from simple origins. From cardboard
strips stapled together the sculpture is transformed into bronze inspiring library patrons to
expand the way they see and not to judge a book by its cover.

A steel woven basket inspired by the Maidu tribe of the Sacramento Valley holds large abstract forms
and balances on a spun steel sphere. The sculpture alludes to abundance—or the precariousness of it—
and the balancing acts that define our lives. This sculpture was featured in Americans for the Arts Public Art Network’s (PAN)
2004 Year in Review, a guide highlighting the country’s best public art projects.

PROMENADE

2006, bronze, 9 feet 6 inches x 18 inches x 18 inches and 8 feet 6 inches x 18 inches x 18 inches
Award Commission for Skyline Park in downtown Denver.

Recycled cardboard is my medium of choice. Transforming this humble material by casting it into
bronze enables me to explore the idea of creating something from nothing, turning straw into gold. In
these sculptures the shapes allude to the pinnacles and valleys of everyday life; the textured layers represent
the strata of the surrounding mountains. Female and male elements suggest a contemporary
re-examination of the complexity and beauty of modern relationships.
