Sculpture to me has always been concerned with boundaries of the material body. Form is what makes one gravitate to the emotional states of utopia. The ideology behind sculpture of the past in world history has shown ecstatic states of sexuality, saintly visions of Nirvana, ancient wisdom, mythology, the archetypal angel, and the creation of gods. In my sculpture I want the viewer to see creation and destruction all in the same work of art. Art is how the artist deifies his/her existence; it is a way of making oneself immortal. It is God-like.

A fetish (derived from the French fétiche; which comes from the Portuguese feitiço; and this in turn from Latin facticius, “artificial” and facere, “to make”) is an object believed to have supernatural powers, or in particular, a man-made object that has power over others. Essentially, fetishism is the emic attribution of inherent value or powers to an object.
Theoretically, fetishism is present in all religions. Power objects and substances, such as bones, fur, claws, feathers, gemstones and crystals, water from certain places, certain types of plants and wood are common fetishes in the traditions of cultures worldwide.
Fetishes were commonly used in Native American religion and practices. The bear, being the oldest known deity in the world, represented the shaman, the buffalo was the provider, the mountain lion was the warrior, and the wolf was the pathfinder.
