My most recent work—Strataforms and Strataform Paintings—emerges from a lifelong engagement with material, rhythm, and the layered nature of experience. These pieces are quiet but deliberate, rooted in both physical structure and internal reflection. Each day, I walk along cliffs at the ocean’s edge where the earth’s strata are laid bare—centuries of compression, upheaval, and erosion revealed in rippling bands of stone. I see in these forms the layering of our own lives: what is visible, what is buried, what is slowly shaped or suddenly exposed. These natural forces—wind, water, time, and human touch—mirror the processes in my own work.

The Strataforms are hand-sculpted, deeply textured wall pieces made from white papers. Through folding, crushing, layering, and manipulation, I create free-form installations that evoke topography, erosion, and memory. Their monochrome stillness invites a closer look. In contrast, the dimensional Strataform Paintings extend this language into neutral color and surface, using layered lines and shifting densities to echo the physical and emotional contours of the sculpted forms.

Over five decades, my practice has included public commissions, large-scale sculpture, and painting in varied and mixed media. Each has been shaped by my sensitivity to material and place. The current work is the most distilled and introspective of my career. Throughout my life, I have received immense satisfaction from the process of making art and from experimenting with different materials. That hands-on discovery has always been at the core of my work. At 72, I feel no need to explain—only to speak clearly through form. The Strataforms are my next chapter: an offering of these works to new conversations, spaces, and viewers attuned to the continuous forces that shape us all.
