These forms are narrative and reference objects caught in an evolutionary trajectory to or from a time and place of baskets, cups or paintings. The repetition of form is my way of understanding each shape or idea in a new medium or combination. The decision to use a variety of materials and process helps vary and enforce the experience and interpretation of the repeated forms at the same time enhancing the visual and physical texture of the pieces. Some forms appear fragile, as if cracking eggs and others look as strong as weathered stones.  {My hope is that} using these archetypal forms and mediums will visually stimulate and intrigue the viewer.
