SCULPTURE

Female Fetish

These everyday, actual-size, wooden objects of women are usually associated with the women that I densely cover with 29 different pewter from my personal iconography nailed into each piece. These works are heavily influenced by my Italian Catholic background and my interest in and collection of folk art.

Female Implements

These serving pieces and bronze wall sculptures are influenced by the elongated forms of Cycladic Art. They reflect in their imagery the perception of women as the caretakers of society.
