Artist Statement
Each piece is an act of homage. Through the combination of forming and brazing copper rod and wire, pattern making, and hand stitching, I draw out the essence of the animal or object I am bringing into being. I sweet talk the "skin" and form into holding hands and jumping into the abyss together, so we can see what comes out the other side.
