"It is steel, big steel, bigger than life. My objective with scale is to provide interesting arcs and curvalinear intersections. Shapes and negative space are designed to speak. My 14' x 26' x 12' abstract sculpture, La Mujer Roja pivots from the figurative, an odalisque, a traditionally male subject. Yet the name, author, and suggested form are feminine with contained sexuality. Arcs, curvalinear intersections and negative spaces are designed to speak. The proportions are true to the extent necessary for reading. Primary sexual attributes are mere suggestions. The sculpture challenges historical interpretation. The steel power of femininity gives the work a subtext of revolt against the expected.

My sculpture is the result of working differently within the system. In spite of perceived limits, "La Mujer Roja" has myriad layers of power."
