Statement

I like my work to have a sense of playfulness, so I often make movable parts. The dynamic aspect of my work is drawn to kinetic movement. Heating, manipulating, and suspending polypropylene with metal and nylon [and more recently sculpting polyester] allows me to convey this movement. The end result is a flowing form that interacts with the motion of the wearer. Searching for, examining, and discovering materials is a necessary and fun part of the process.
