These works of art are sculpted into clay by hand and later cast in bronze or resin using traditional techniques to retain the detail and form of the clay. The handiwork combines realism with distortion of shapes and imaginative proportions. The sculpted bodies and faces are not cast from life, but hand built in proportions usually slightly larger or smaller than life size. Often the artwork includes a found object element as well, as diverse as a rag doll, a paper bunny, a rubber toy, or a tree branch and root. The result is a surreal and bizarre sculpture, a kind of cultural anti-hero, something that may function as an antidote to the traditional heroic concept and heroic statuary tradition. My sculpture is inclined to be about body and psychic domains that are associated with the female. Children, dolls, and toys are historically considered slightly suspect subject matter, something of a challenge.

The nature of the surrealist or fantastic image is revealing by the layering of complexities and contradictions. It is a means of describing a state of being that is less than whole, a state that is always evolving and seeking completion and wholeness. The attitude of the sculpture assumes that there exists a collective ancestral body of all people that is not complete and finished like a classical statue, but the body and mind is always changing and under constant construction.
