We are all interconnected, like threads in a vast tapestry.

Sculpture is about making a form that resonates with the human spirit.

The body is a living archive.

Art is a way of giving form to the formless.

The human body is a microcosm of the universe.

My work is about trying to create a dialogue between the viewer and the artwork.

The body is a site of vulnerability and strength.

Art is a way of making us feel more alive.

We are all part of the great dance of life.

Art is a guarantee of sanity.

I want to make work that is a place of contemplation, a space where the viewer can engage with their own body and the space around it.

We are all made of the same stuff as stars.

Art should not be comfortable; it should challenge.

The space between things is as important as the things themselves.

Drawing is the most direct way to connect mind and body.

Public art must speak to the collective unconscious.
