My wire organic sculptures reference the human form and function as drawings as well. Wire magically becomes line in space, changing in character and becoming messages from within. The wire functions to create a tension- as in the expression wired- while also conveying both strength and fragility. The sculptures are delicate and have words embedding in their skin. These words give the viewer the sense of eavesdropping on someone?s secret obsessive thoughts. These sculptures use language, written and visual in tension. Her work is always probing deeper into how language describes and defines one?s identity.
