I want to make metal dance. My creative approach is intuitive like nature itself. I create through a process of discovery through making, a form of travel. I have a conversation with my materials, consider their potential energy, and lure out of them the dynamic forces of nature. I allow the work to evolve, probing shapes, investigating its capacity to change. I seek to reveal the nature of the material, allowing it to take on a life of its own. In my sculpture, I strive to awaken the human spirit and open the senses. By bringing forth in my work the various life forces in nature, I hope to create sculptures that feel alive. My goal as an artist is to create art that reflects the visible elements of the world as well as the hidden life forces, to embody in my work a sense of presence, and a sense of inner life; I want to make metal dance. My sculpture embodies the tension between stasis and impending movement. Despite its weight and volume, or perhaps because of it, metal can dance and even suggest song. I work with stainless steel, bronze, and carbon steel. These diverse metals, with their varied looks, suggest forms individualistically. Ideally, a viewer engages with my work on a subliminal level enabling them to have an experience of a unique personal nature. In addition to multiple gallery shows, I have completed over 20 public art projects worldwide in locations as diverse as Abu Dhabi, Florida, California, Belgium, and China. All of my projects have all come in on schedule and to great acclaim from the shareholders. |
