Through the Clouds was an exploration of my feelings about what it is like to fly. It was inspired by flight, weightlessness and a feeling of space being unbounded.
  The design worked around the notion of a cloud's ephemeral attempt at defining space and how something that appears solid is actually not at all. Our way of seeing gives us a sense of things being fixed or defined when really, everything is in a constant state of transition in one way or another. From this viewpoint, everything is in a state of flux.
  The triangular element illustrates perspective and the concept of distance. The "V" form illustrates movement. The sculpture's design came together easily with one element integrating naturally to the next.

      This project came together right after the September 11, 2001 tragedy. The initial direction from the Director of Innkeeper Associates was for the 5 artists selected for the project to design a group response as a memorial to those who died that day. We collaborated as a group on our specific design approaches, but we each came up with our own artistic interpretation. My sculpture was inspired by the horrible image of the towers falling. My mind was set on all of the people that died and all of the spirit involved in that moment.
   This sculpture is my attempt to come to an understanding of the impact of what happened to all of us. The title, Spirit Form: Emerging is meant as a tribute to the collective spirit of those who perished that day as well as all of us who remain and were transformed by that event. Spirit Form: Emerging reflects the transition of so many souls from one state of being to another
