“When sculpting, I strive to depict a sense of drama and rhythm balanced with the laws of physics. The result in the sculpture is life that is frozen in time and space, yet moving and breathing in the viewer’s mind. Artistically speaking, sculpting is the nearest thing to creating life itself. Your fingers blend and mold the clay, then suddenly before you is a life!...A soul!...A physical entity with personality that could possibly leave its mark for generations.”
