I’ve been working with materials that are less precious, and which have allowed further creative freedom, as well as an efficiency that I lacked with more lengthy traditional processes.

Selecting new materials for their potential to generate forms, for their stability, and for their accessibility, I have gravitated toward foam and composite resin, clear epoxy resin, polymer clay, and paint. These materials lend themselves to organic forms and are, when used properly, safer and more affordable for my home studio. Foam positives are carved and refined or extruded before the application of the composite resin. Polymer clay elements mingle with traditionally generated metal elements of fabricated copper and brass.
