| Pre-Hispanic sculpture holds a strong
attraction for me because it's about exploring mysterious religions,
unknown gods and intriguing events.
Expressionistic, simple, imaginative, often small and personal,
the sculptures draw in the viewer to decipher their stories. They
call for attention and thought, inspiring me to turn my own thoughts
into tangible forms. To do this, I prefer using discarded materials
disposed of by business and industry. Recycling trash into new
objects appeals to me because of the challenge of making art out
of refuse.
