Basically, I like to make stuff.
My studio work uses a variety of materials ranging from natural and manmade found objects to clay and wax. Eventually most pieces find their completion in bronze, through our work at The Foundry. My studio work is introspective and often uses gestural organic forms. I also like to combine objects to create unexpected artifacts that point to an unexplainable occurrence - a piece of unknown history or a pointer to some sort of transformation that makes one wonder how and why it came to be.
The past work I have done for public spaces has focused on combining symbols to create patterns which reflect the attributes of the client or of historical events. Currently I am interested in bridging my studio and public work in order to bring more of the studio asthetic to public places.
There are some wonderful mentors/teachers, that I’d like to thank here: Helen Garriott for opening the door of the creative world for me, Jim Neikirk for teaching me how to weld and that metal is even more forgiving than clay and Piero Fenci for recognizing a spark of something in me and encouraging me to follow what continues to make my world spin.
