After 25 years of working in marble and travertine I have ventured into metal sculpture as a counterpoint to the stonework. It feels like drawing in space, like spacial volume without central mass. I am using narrow gauge industrial wire, mesh, hardware cloth, mild steel rods and tubes, allowing space to get through and air and light to interplay with balance and tension. It is suggestive rather than pronouncing and sometimes enhanced by shadows which extend beyond the principal boundaries of space and room.
I want to provide an encounter with new material configuration where even materiality is dispensable and materials are beyond such restrictions. My objective is not to present perfection or reflection but rather to approach the work as a hinge of an idea. I like my sculpture to communicate the complexity in its simplicity, and the viewers should be able to finish their own story in the piece.
