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.

"Lips"


bronze lips on steel, 16" x 16" x 4", about 2005

The Chinese character for mouth is a square: lips are over a mouth, a visual echo, which is clever, but I thought of that years after I made it.   Most of my work just happens, born of controlled chaos from scraps in my studio, no method, no guru.
