another artist statement draft

“If a person thinks the same way he did five years ago then he has wasted his time.”

Shattering a previous assumption brings light to the undiscovered.  In an epiphany a previous perception is dismissed; a person realizes they were wrong, feels vulnerable, regrets, stops wasting time and adapts.  These instances are defining, leaving us stronger. I love being surprised by answers to questions I did not know existed.
As a child I loved science.  Building and investigating stuff was what I did.  Growing up a mile away from downtown Denver I was able explore.  The chaos of the city is what I love about my childhood. In a densely populated city people work as a unit.  Impossibilities shrink with communication.  In my work I explore opportunities in unanswerable questions.  Being fascinated with the unknown I investigate epiphanies and their lasting impression on our development. 
I work with found materials.  Tangible objects carry their inherent meaning while symbols can only allude.  I like working in sculpture because gives my work more voice.  I think three-dimensionally, using volume and scale to make my work.  I want to motivate people to evolve to the changing world.
