Abstract

There is space between well-worded explanations and fully comprehen - sible meaning. It is in this space that I find “authenticity.” It is here that content is “felt” before intellectualized. My need to speak in a language addressing the layers, the paradox in living, leads me to art. This is authentic. Carving calms me. The focus gives order to thought and emotion. The artifact, the sculpture that remains, is a structure so extreme it seems to defy the constraints inherent to its own material.
