I spend a good portion of time on my daily hikes looking either down at the ground or up towards the sky and tree tops. On the ground, I find many natural materials that I can use either by drawing inspiration from their form or by incorporating my natural treasures right into the sculptural work.

On this particular walk, I came across an area of empty snail shells. I began to wonder why the shells were empty. I created various stories to explain this phenomenon. In the end, I brought the vacant shells back to the studio and began to create some snail-like creatures emerging from the shells.
