  MORA STATEMENT      

There was a time when I had many wonderful dreams, but then I didn’t have a language for my own expression. When I found that language, I knew I could be speaking forever.

  GAHR STATEMENT    

The work is in the carving assemblage tradition with the added pleasure of applying paint on wood. There is a concern with sculptural form and painting the work as if it were a canvas. The figures are based on dreams, reality and imagination. There is not a lot of concern with accurate depiction but more an attempt to describe grace and spirit.
