Artist Statement:
My work continues to examine the subtle changes and the consequent visual effects of a plane as it moves non-definitively through space.  I do this by continuing my development of the technique of anticlastic raising.  It has proven to be the ideal method for generating elemental structures that illustrate and help to explain more complex movements inherent in organic life.

My purpose is to follow the natural movement of a plane as it transforms into three-dimensional space by systematically stretching the edges and compressing the center of a metal sheet.  The resulting anticlastic forms express a harmonious balance between tension and flexibility, complexity and simplicity, strength and economy.  Because such characteristics are particularly suitable to jewelry, I adapt these shapes to accentuate the natural lines and movement of the human form.
