Oracle, AZ here is in art no image more evocative than the human form. It is rich in associative powers in both personal and universal ways. When the human form is sculpture, a confrontation with substance,
identity and the claiming of space begins. There also begins an essential probing into life-likeness, and the degree to which the artist wishes it to be there, or not there. No matter however, whether it is a lump of mud or welded angle iron, deliberately formed stone, wood or clay, we never fail to recognize our very selves, in other guise. For me it is this identity, this recognition of another kind of human presence that I wish to convey in my sculpture.
