As a counterpoint to the rules and strategies of games play, the visual, material, and audible aspects of games are what engage me as a sculptor. I draw inspiration from games in various cultures and various times, utilizing references to the natural, the historic, the intellectual, the ecclesiastical, the mysterious, and the emotive. How the gameboards, pieces, determinants (dice, spinners, etc.) and tally boards present themselves and how they are transposed into our culture is what intrigues me. How I incorporate them into my sculpture is what challenges me.
