Artist's Comments

I enjoy working with "solid" materials like metal and stone and I try to use them in a manner that accommodates the natural tendencies of those materials. I utilize the colors and textures that occur as a result of natural oxidation and patination. This technique makes my outdoor sculpture virtually maintenance free while simultaneously exhibiting qualities of earthliness and wholeness. For many years I have been executing sculpture that embodied the concept of energy and physical space. However, recently I have taken that static concept to a new kinetic plane by integrating moving elements that emphasize the idea of energy.
