Artist’s Statement 

"Colorful paint is applied in patterns, shapes, dots and lines to metal surfaces of various widths and lengths, which are then bent and assembled to become sculptures. When placed on mirror-finished stainless steel, the sculptures create reflections, and multiple images appear to create a kinetic effect. The sculptures are joyful, rhythmical and playful, and often involve the viewer in the reflective surfaces."
