Artist's Statement

My work explores the play between universal symbols culled from Greek and Christian mythology and the archetypes of my own unconscious, expressing such themes as: birth, love, sex and death.  I  carved more than a dozen writhing, fragmented figures in marble, until marble sculpture became too limiting in size and scope, and I began to create larger-than-life pieces in plaster, and taught myself to cast in concrete. In 1986, I had my first exhibition—a solo show at the Sutton Gallery on East Fifty-seventh Street.
