Metal Sculptor
I have an affinity towards discarded metal. Weekly I travel to metal yards throughout California, looking for interesting pieces of steel that have been tossed aside. When I find something special I grab it and take it back to my studio. It may take me only moments, or sometimes many months to discover what that piece wants or needs to become, only then can I fulfill its destiny. I incorporate patterns into all of my sculptures. Taking one piece, adding to it, or deleting from it, then ending when the work encompasses all of my creativity, this is what charges up my artistic energies. When my creative force is flowing, I work to completion. My art is finished when my creative flow ends. I strive to create art that is completely unique, to create something no one has created before. I resist conformity and mass production.
