I was trained as a painter in the Midwest and switched to sculpture around 2002 after moving to New York. At the time, I was casting and modeling objects based on specific ideas—enlarging the interior space of a doll or putting a tree stump through a chipper and casting the remains into a mold of the original stump. The main thing was that there was an internal logic to this kind of work. The objects were almost an afterthought that had been determined by language. I had been an intuitive painter and a more or less idea driven sculptor.
