My earlier explorations in wood and concrete consider transformation through time and memory. Using found driftwood and weathered fragments, I work with materials that already carry a history—shaped by water, erosion, and displacement. In these pieces, I am informed by Isamu Noguchi’s approach to sculpture as a dialogue—one that attends to the material’s inherent voice and energy rather than imposing form upon it. Forms emerge through a process of listening and response, where intervention is measured and intentional. These sculptures gather as quiet accumulations, where past and present remain in subtle tension, and where material holds both what has been and what it becomes.
