Improvising
28” x 22” x 4” Mixed Media

💡Creating this piece was particularly challenging, reflected in its multiple starts, restarts, and self-reconstruction. Using materials like wood, recycled frames, shells, metal, bronze, wire, and recycled paper clay, it was both a difficult project to execute and a joy to bring to life.

"Supposition of Form"
24 in. high aerated cement sculpture

Initially working in bronze realism, I eventually branched out into various mediums. 'Supposition of Form,' my first abstract piece, marked my entry into the realm of subtractive carving. This work granted me the freedom to explore uncharted creative depths.

"Supposition of Form"
24 in. high aerated cement sculpture

Beginning in bronze realism, I gradually stretched to work in several mediums. Stepping into the world of subtractive carving, ‘Supposition of Form’ was my first work in abstract form. Granting greater freedom, it carried me to a world that included the depths of the unthought-of.
