About Me

I have always been inspired by the mobiles of Alexander Calder, and I try to capture the same lightness and grace in my own sculptures. However, being a particle physicist, I am also interested in bringing invisible, abstract ideas to life and giving them tangible form. Mapping the space between the poetic and the analytic is the unspoken subject of my work. My sculptures range in size from miniature wall mobiles to room-filling installations, and I employ a variety of materials: metal, wood, stone, polymer clay, paper, and found objects. I work primarily with a geometric vocabulary, arranging blocks of color into compositions that are both organized and flexible. Indeed, it is this balance between stability and chaos, control and movement, that animates my work and my imagination.

Another Revision


To the right is another old mobile, this time from 2006. (This picture was obviously not taken with public consumption in mind.) It has been hanging in our living room, partly because I was never happy enough with it to send it out into the world. There was something missing.

Since I'm cleaning house these days (artistically speaking), I decided to finish it finally. Here it is (26" H x 16" W) with a new third level added to the top and a broader spectrum of colors.
