Artist's Statement
All of my work is related to shamanism and botany. Osprey Totem is an obvious reference to an osprey nest, but it also refers to other man-made structures such as traps and Indian burial grounds.

In a sense, I am paying my respects to the natural materials which are so vital to a particular landscape, yet are perhaps overlooked. The intrinsic quality of a material to convey power and the metamorphosis which takes place is what interests me.
