Our deepest fears often come from inside our own minds. Fear of being judged by others can keep us from expressing ourselves; fear of failure, or success, can lead to a debilitating paralysis; fear of not being good enough to follow our hearts and dreams. These are the some of the individual demons that we carry with us and battle in quiet desperation. A quiet moment or dark night can become a cerebral battleground. It is only by taking risks and breaking free of our self-constraints that we can express our authentic selves and move forward.

A major component of these pieces is industrial foam. At the time, the free flowing formations of the material perfectly reflected the freedom and spontaneity I was seeking. It was the ideal canvas on which to express my thoughts and feelings.

Much of my work addresses human emotion, personal growth and our relationship with nature and the world around us. This series of work represents a time in my life of great change and upheaval. Divorce, teenagers, going back to work, going back to school, following my dreams and engaging the world with my art. The drive and need to move forward, in silent conflict with our personal fears, is what helps to shape us and make us who we are.
