During childhood on my family's organic farm, daily interactions with plants and animals encouraged a sense of wonder and connection to the landscape. My current work references this personal experience while responding to a human desire for closeness to the natural environment represented by animals. Working in my home studio next to the farm, I sculpt realistic animals who are singular sculptures or correspond with functional vessels and altered forms. Each animal is presented in gestures of significance and integrity, aiming to invoke an introspective response while the corresponding vessel serves as a stage and invites human interaction.
