ARTIST STATEMENT
This piece explores the notion of personal development and growth, where each candle and candle holder is representative of the stages we go through in our lives. Several of the pieces exist with imperfections - tilts and marks - an intentional attribute that speaks to the natural messiness and imperfections found in personal development.
