This is why nature is a central motif in much of what I have created. Nature is a symbol of birth, development, harmony and death. My most recent series of sculptures represents human kind’s ongoing destruction and reconstruction of the natural environment. The tree, said sculpture’s central object, symbolizes that reality.

As mentioned earlier, my intent has never been to be narrative. I prefer to tap into a more abstract spirit, even though I often combine actual elements extracted the real world with my own creations. For example: Although I would never cut down a tree, it often does appear in my work in a raw state. And frequently it appears along side self-made objects, such as axes and farming instruments. At first glance a viewer might think these objects are real when, in fact, they are but creations of mine.

The result is the creation of a dramatic fantasy, a back and forth game of what is real and what is false.

I use diverse materials, some natural, others industrial. For many years wood has been my principal material, in addition to steel, clay, flowers as well as high-tech materials such as aluminum, electrical devices, fiberglass, polyester, artificial grass and digital images.

My sculptures alter the intrinsic value of the definition of objects in such a way as to evoke new interpretations of conceptual alchemy, forcing the audience to reevaluate the relationship between organics elements and technology.

Today my work continues to focus on power, destruction and violence as global problems of a new age, and above all, the relationship between people and the environment.
