Design

With a cinematic eye and a welder’s arc, I bring light, motion and mass to my work. I use steel, stone, recycled materials and concrete as the building blocks to frame objects and images. I contrast weathered and polished, dark and light, mass and space. I often work in four dimensions, allowing time to show the kinetic aspects of a piece. The processes of welding have allowed my dreams to soar. I enjoy the fabrication as much as the design, and usually refine the concept during construction. In the end, I feel there is some of “Vulcan’s* power” in my work. *Vulcan - the Roman god of fire and metalworking (not to be confused with any Startrek characters or species).
