HOUSTON

As we enter what some believe to be the Sixth Great
Extinction, many creatures that currently roam the earth
will become fossils. For every impressed relic, a niche
will open for new life to grow and flourish. As a species,
we must foster what cultivates and maintains life. A seed
is an emblem of potential, continuation, and hope. It is
concentrated energy, surging with life and vivacity.

My sculptures are designed to elevate the humble little
seed to something significant and substantial, extolling its
status as bearer of the spark. The seed is represented by
a shiny orb-like form. It is supported by rigid yet sinuous
structures that prop, encase, or intertwine its body.
Elements of ornament flirt with each passerby, enticing
them to lean in and take notice of what is precious.
