Dynamical Balance is a scientific term regarding the perfect state of harmony and balance that exists throughout the universe. This is an incredible notion, and it is one of the driving forces behind my work.

It is not scientific fact that I am interested in however. Ultimately, it is the convergence of the vast expanse of space and intricate functions within that I find awe inspiring. I enjoy seeing contemporary imagery of the universe from the eye of satellites–images from places we will never physically know. I am also interested in the relationships different cultures have had with the sky; grouping stars into constellations for use in travels, agriculture, and to pass on folklore.

I provide different imagined views of and within the universe through the use of metal. Intimate portraits of cosmic existence allow us to quietly ponder our own place in the universe. My work should be read as moments in time and space as the energy I am representing is in a constant state of change. The form and volume of presence in space cannot be fully grasped. This is why I choose to create graphic images, almost drawings, in a precious and permanent material. I wish to make tangible the vast expanse of space and grandeur presence that comprise the universe. Therefore I incorporate elements that we are familiar with–castings from organic material, minerals and precious metals. Merging traditional technique with newer technology in metalworking has allowed me to combine the idea of a vast universe with representations of the precious presence that exists therein.
