I am passionate about studying the figure.
I am fascinated by the rhythms that the complex crossing of muscles over bones create, and the way that each part of the body fits together with the next. This construction supports our bodies against gravity and allows us to move through the world.
Our bodies are the vehicles by which we accomplish daily life, and the way in which we interact with each other.
