Artist statement
There is something simple about subverting the fork or spoon. These are two common objects in the world. Utilitarian and standardized. In keeping within these two templates there is a whole world of possibility in their manipulation. The sculptures are nonfunctional and delicate. There is a twist and pull to them. Outside of their magic, the impulse to touch is great as we are so used to these tactile objects in our daily life. However, the way they are stretched, shaped, or warped hinders my ability to touch them. They stand alone in their hubris. So much so that they carry each other’s weight or are inserted in the tips of their larger form. There is a crudeness about these works even with their polished refinement. There are stories that I want to tell through a fork or spoon.
