Artist Statement

"Egg Works 2006"

There is something magical about creating the same thing over and over again.  It is like looking at the moon.  Sometimes I think I see the same moon every night but each time I do, it is different.  The subtle change in moon’s nightly appearance always inspires me to create something new from the same thing.
