Sculpture: prayers from the thin place

I view my sculptures not only as artistic expressions but also as prayer totems that facilitate contemplation and spiritual communion. Like ancient artifacts crafted with intention, my sculptures are infused with a sacredness that invites viewers to engage in deep introspection and connect with the Divine. Much like a prayerful gesture, the act of sculpting becomes a meditative process, a form of communion with Jesus in the thin place, and a means to create objects of reverence and spiritual significance.Through their tactile presence, these sculptures serve as physical reminders that the world around us is sacred. They act as an anchor that connects the physical with the eternal.

When engaging with my sculptures, viewers are invited to enter into a dialogue, transcending the boundaries of language and thought. The textures, shapes, light, and shadow embedded within each piece invites a visual exploration that draws one to consider our relationship with the materiality of the physical world. By incorporating salvaged materials such as wood, concrete, and steel, the natural patinas acquired over time are preserved to honor the spirit of wabi-sabi. These sculptures, like prayer totems, become conduits through which one can express their innermost longings, hopes, and aspirations. In their midst, viewers are encouraged to embrace imperfection, seek solace and find a sense of connection with the thin place. These sculptures are a reminder that all things, including life itself, are imperfect and allow for contemplation of the infinite and ephemeral.
