My Story
I am primarily interested in capturing intention, movement, gait, balance and
form in sculpture. Most of my work is figurative, inspired by the human and
natural world; a small portion is abstract, playing with texture and material. I
have a collection of life-size figures, small figurines, birds, and other animals. I
usually build intuitively into 3d space through welding fragments and chunks
creating an organic form with hints of Brutalist architecture.
