Artist Statement

 
These small sculptures are about nature, play, and movement. Birds, animals, and fish battle strong winds, dance, strike a pose, or examine objects found in the woods or on the shore. Some grapple with predicaments, some seem to enjoy the feeling of being in motion, and some just seem to take themselves a bit too seriously. Like animal characters in fables, myths, or children’s books, they illustrate moments of what it means to be human.
