Favorite Medium: sculpture
Statement: I like the graceful movement of certain styles of dancing. In mysketches I try to capture abstract figurative shapes that flow like the movement of the dancer. I then try to create this feeling with wood.From a sketch I like, I then draw the shape I want on plywood. Then the shape is cut out. Then other pieces of plywood are cut and laminated to build up the desired thickness. A variety of hardwoods are cut and shaped, then laminated to the plywood to create the desired colors, thickness and shape of the image I sketched.I strive to make shapes that are esthetically pleasing and enhance the beauty of wood
