Hestia Sculpture

Sculpture I have always been attracted to formations deciphering natural, manmade forms and structure's has led me to developing sculpture with an archaic touch. I create to change what is necessary in order to establish a symbol as it becomes more than the sum of its parts. In sculpting stone, I seek out its natural form, letting this guide me as I shape it toward a human figure. I look to the archetypes of primitive art to balance representation with symbolism. In a single piece I strive to capture an abstract, universal quality"”strength, anguish, fertility"”while finding a striking form, unique to the specific stone. Through this approach I encourage the viewer to engage with the work on a primal, subconscious level.
