Description

My own musings come from as far back as I can remember, tinkering in my father's metal shop. During and after art school. I fabricated commercial signs for a living, a season that allowed me to hone both symbolic and engineering instincts that inform my present day work as a sculptor and a climbing wall design/builder and structural steel contractor. Counterpoint runs through the body of his work. Although resembling the heavy structural elements, my sculptures welcome a sense of play in my choice of imagery and elicit deep human responses; delight, surprise, hope and joy. In the themes I draw inspiration from the role of family in our lives and the experience of spirituality.
