"My job is to build a credible illusion that the viewer finds pleasurable. Part of that is to impart a sense of freedom and carefree movement to the surface. I try to build a piece that doesn’t look human-made, that suggests a more organic origin. In part, I use drawing techniques and the magic of line to lighten the sculptures and to avoid a belabored appearance."
