The “far field” is a place where the familiar merges with the unknown. It is a field where neglected cultivation melds into untamed ditches and brambles. It is here that the artificial commingles with the natural to create new forms and environments. All human making is a transformation of the natural world. The sculptures in this exhibition are the result of my interest in physically manipulating natural materials to create forms that retain and reflect the intrinsic qualities of the organic and the artificial. My intent with this work is to create forms that seem to span both the natural and manmade worlds.
