Selected Artist Stories
It has been very important for me to update my skills on an ongoing basis for a number of different reasons. I have had to seek out new skills to be able to produce just about everything I ever have ever made. The idea I have for a piece drives the materials, processes and techniques I use. Often the work, although conceptually similar with other work I’ve made, will bear little physical resemblance. The process of gaining the knowledge and skills to make the piece becomes part of the work itself.
