Statement:
These pieces are part of a new series for urban living.
I am contrasting the sharp reality of city life with
the comfort of soft forms in the home. The scale of
this new work is reduced to suit the more limited space
of city interiors. Their presence is anchored by the
internal relation of mass to scale.
