My work is informed by characteristics of people, geometric designs, and nature. My sculptures are short stories that illuminate the evidence of my labor, that is, my struggle to create logic, balance, and harmony out of scrap lumber, fallen trees, body casts, welding electrodes, and tiny pieces of steel discards from railroad maintenance crews, the construction trades, and the manufacturing industry. I believe that artists cause interest by solving problems; be they aesthetic, theoretical, sociopolitical or otherwise. My primary concern is with texture. I seek to strike that delicate balance between skill and spontaneity as I arrest in solidity molten steel’s liquidity.
