Recently someone asked what led me to abstraction in sculpture. In retrospect I realize that it was abstraction that led me to sculpture. Neither a painting nor a sculptor, it was my high school math teacher who talked about mathematics as a means of learning about the universe. Almost pleading with us to understand that it was not just the finding of a square root of something, or as the makers of graphs would have it, but that mathematics was a form of imagery, symbols, steps, and layers in thinking, through which one could discover that which is there but not yet discovered. –Artist statement
