As an architect and artist, I’m always looking for the large-and small-scale interrelationships of natural and man-made forms and structures. Out of mostly sterling silver,I make small, wearable sculptures based on the dynamic geometric and architectural shapes that surround me. The hoppers, chutes, bins and their supporting structures create vessels and conduits for the seasonal cycles of fuel, water and food –industrial extensions of the natural systems of streams, soils and plants that define the Minnesota rural environment in which I live.
