ー It has always been my intent to express the power and inherent possibilities of the material I use rather than just focus on skill and technique. I feel the raw material speaking to me. Its raw strength and sheer vitality that has enabled it to survive the ages is an encounter I always look forward to. I seek to portray my own world view through Mother Natures providence and deep philosophy.ー
