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.

WILDS STUDENT WORK

These are some images of my students' work from Benedict College over the past year.  We are an open enrollment HBCU in Columbia, SC.  Most of of students are relatively poor, often the first in their families to attend college.  I add we are not well funded, so most of the work is made from found, free, or very cheap materials.   It is the best way to learn, I think.    The images are from Printmaking, and life drawing classes, as well as 3D Design for freshmen, as well as Ceramics and Sculpture classes.
