I am a sculptor by training and predilection. I make sculpture, I draw like a sculptor (3D images, not flat composition), make prints like a sculptor (process process process) and paint like a sculptor (it's all about material). I do a lot of architecture and furniture, which is just useful sculpture. Still, my work is not just sculpture - lots of painting, etching, drawing. At first blush it might seem like a lack of focus. Not so. All my work has the same hand, same taste, same treatment; only the formats vary.

I don't talk much about my work: my work speaks for me.

New Work, January 2012

As yet untitled, this is a work from December, 2011.  It is walnut with nails above hammered copper and fibreglass. It is about 7' tall, maybe a bit more.  The figure quotes a lot of older work, Barlach, Boccionni, Nike of Samothrace, among others.   It is a good example of what I do. 


Also untitled, with a working name of "Bronze Footed Africa", again it is mixed media, an ebony figure over wood, copper, rawhide, nails, and a bronze foot.  It is about 48" high.  Like other work of mine, it grew over several years, completed 12/2011.
