There is a correlation formed between labor and creativity, at the center of this byway is the heart of my practice. Building objects is not unlike creating music compositions, the accompaniment, i.e., tools and materials, is a call and response to creativity. The rubric to complete any composition is to know one’s instrument(s)/tools; the creative act is based on this reciprocal understanding. Jazz is the primer that propels the work, the tone/feel of every composition is directly associated with the culture. Every object composed is a versioning of a historic recording, every tool, an augmented scale referencing an industrial progression.

Amma is a work that arrived later in life, the history is vast and coherent to those who seek it. My physical DNA (blood) populates this work, Amma explores time- past, present, and divine.
