Cycles of life and death are recurring themes in my sculptures for the past thirty years.  After seeing positive and encouraging signs of the pandemic finally slowing down I began to engage forms of life and growth in my work.  Since flowers represent a new beginning and celebrate beauty, love, hope and healing.  I used their forms, shapes and colors as the start of my experimental journey.

In my new work I show plants that exhibit forms that have both stamens (male parts) and pistils (the female parts).  Many flowering plants, pumpkins for instance, produce male and female flowers.  It has been inescapable not to notice the curious sexual variety of procreation strategies of plants and animals.  I hope to provide surprise and curiosity of nature as a source of wonder in my art.
