I revere the stuff of nature -- both the detritus and the wonders. While transforming earth, fibers and branches into mysterious vessels and sensual objects, I seek to relay messages heard only by the ear of the heart. Forces and forms of nature act as metaphors for the barest bones of the human condition. I borrow building techniques from past cultures and the natural building movement. These include: structures from Native American architecture and Japanese fence building, natural clay plasters, and straw-clay building.
