Driving, sleeping, walking, and bathing are the times I come up with my best ideas. My current sculptures attempt to make these mundane moments fuse together with the more metaphysical qualities of the imagination. The sculptures begin to contemplate more bluntly a direct dialogue between my self and my imagination. I take stock in the words of William Blake who endorses the imagination as real.

It has always felt too broad to state that the relationship between self and imagination as my source. However, in the sculptures I fabricate a clumsy yet determined connection between body/stem/and bloom. I invite conflict between the literal aspects of the cast figure in contact with the more super-mundane aspects of the stems and flowers. The flowers are affirmations. They have their own speed and their own conscience. The body, cast from my own, captures more the idea of humanness from the outside inwards.

The series completed with 4 full-scale figures will place the body in response to the pressure of space both physically and meta-physically in nature.
