"My work reflects both the landscape I grew up in and my interest in the
underlying structure of natural objects. Growing up in Indiana, with its
expansive skies and industrial structures, nurtured my appreciation for
clean, minimal forms.  The Midwest's vast fields and skies served as a
visual canvas to power lines, granaries, and silos - structures wrought from
pure function. These immense objects impressed upon me the feeling that
structure itself is beauty, and the bare bones of a form are the often the
beautiful parts."
