I'm the creator, fabricator and abstract metal sculptor, autodidact by training, combining new and found carbon steel producing representational forms. Stealing words from Jackson Pollock, as I'm producing my sculptures there is a definite period where I spend time just getting acquainted, thus providing direction and evolution. I create to instill a degree of spectator confusion asking for responsive participation Although in recent years I've focused on horse sculptures, I've been inspired by such things as a reflection on the ceiling or an early morning dream, many that just vaporize, fortunately. I don’t see myself being trapped by a leitmotiv, however, I am definitely captured by geometry and the Cubist movement. I'm taken by the layering three dimensional effect seen in paintings by Braque and best describes what Donald Baechler defined, and I borrowed, "editing." For now, each production is a study....never expecting perfection, as that would eliminate the search,* and for me, the end.
