The word accretion is used to describe the process by which planets form. Infinitesimal particles collide and stick, collide and stick; gaining mass and momentum until it has so much weight gravity begins to push on its surface. The process of art is the same. Materials and ideas collide and stick together until it is amassed. Once an object, through the process of materials and ideas, is amassed it exists independently of its creator. It is aware, perhaps not of itself, but of its space. It has substance and limitations that interacts and challenges the physical world. Objects must be addressed physically; responded to. The creation of objects punctures the barrier of surface.

My work seeks:
Awareness: to become so amassed as to exist outside of myself.
Interruption: to be responded to as an entity.
Momentum: the final act in the process of impetus, creation, and awareness, where response to the object inspires a new impetus.
