Inner Noise involves organic shapes, vibrant colors, and varying textures that desire to be interpreted with a psychological response. I am questioning attachment vs. risks and how they can stunt or improve a piece of work. This sculpture is adorned with lumps of plaster, exposed plaster bandages, and wire mesh to display integral parts of my working process rather than covering the surface completely with smooth plaster. Within this work, I use textures, impulses, and shapes of the materials as a guide to improvisational abstract artmaking.
