I am inspired by fashion, movement, dance, nature, and art.
Chaotic Serenity is primarily subtractive carving processes, but I did not limit myself to a specific sculptural medium. My forms are organic and cubist in nature, an attempt to capture the chaos of the lives of the broken, like myself, but presenting beautifully from Chaos to Serenity, as the broken can rise to the highest levels if they allow themselves to.
I hope you as the viewer will look at each piece in your own voice, but for me, I named them after Greek Gods and characters to give a semblance of how I see each piece personally, but it is only just a name.
