"Exploring the body as site of meaning and using material as metaphor locate the crux of my recent work. Materials carry meaning. Thus simple elements -- paper, graphite, beeswax, clay, steel and lead (ranging between precious, fragile and toxic) bear meaning equally with the figure. Each peace contains with it four elements -- that of limits, physical weight, immanence and transcendence.
