When I was a kid I saw a re-run of the Twilight Zone Episode, Little Girl Lost. A little girl disappeared in her home but her parents could hear her voice. He father found a portal to another dimensions had opened up in her bedroom and leaned in to the that opening to get her back.

When I was a kid I saw a re-run of the Twilight Zone Episode, Little Girl Lost. A little girl disappeared in her home but her parents could hear her voice. He father found a portal to another dimensions had opened up in her bedroom and leaned in to the that opening to get her back. As he pulled his daughter out his wife told him that the opening was starting to close. He just missed being trapped between two dimensions. The idea struck me as both terrifying and fascinating. It also stayed with me as I have developed as a artist. I thought of art as a bridge to a far away place only reachable in my mind. Working in leather has given me the ability to show how the ideas in my head push their way into reality. I am the portal.

Leather is the most satisfying material I have ever worked with. Through trial and error, I have found my artistic niche. I always have an idea of what I want to make but leather has a will of its own. Each sculpture in leather is a surprise. Each piece dries differently depending on the season, humidity, temperature, and thickness. I started out making relief sculptures that hang on the wall and have branched out to free standing 3-D sculptures. As my process continues to grow and change, I am still surprised by what comes out of the portal.
