Style: Carves directly in wood, forms that are starkly distinctive, endowing the individual pieces with an extraordinary sense of the organic contexture of the figure. The style leans towards Abstraction without losing the figurative representation. The metaphysical significance of remote times act as a timeless quality that links it to the cyclandic art of the Aegean Civilization. (text by Marjorie Hussain)
