ARTIST STATEMENT

Creating is my zen, my retreat within.
Sculptures of found objects, natural and man-made.
Objects, whos beauty is often overlooked, become the foundation of my sculptures.
Each entity, beautiful on its own, combined with others to create layers of
overlapping tones, textures and floating colonies. One piece perfectly smooth, another imperfectly rusted & abused, fused together to become ONE.

A balance of Earth and industry, past and future, individualism and belonging.

BIO

I am back at the beginning.
Back where I began.
Creating art out of sticks and rocks.
Long walks through creeks, woods and back alleys.
Collecting, just as I did when I was a child.

The smell of the melting steel, reminding me of my fathers gun smithing shop, bringing with it the sense of security and contentment that I missed.

The textile sensations of holding a tangible object in your hand, feeling it’s texture and weight.
A welcome change from the 2D world of computer screens and the molded plastic of a keyboard and mouse.

Back to building and creating the visions in my head, for no other purpose than to satisfy this persistent need within myself.

The child like excitement to share it with others who might understand.

It feels good to be back.
