In my pursuit of artistic expression, sculpture has always been my primary concern. I have worked in many mediums but metal has remained my passion and best suited for my work because of its strength, malleability and inherent beauty. My sculptures vary in scale from small pedestal work to life size or larger interactive compositions. My sculptures created over the last fifteen years are conducive
for outdoor Installations and public sites. They have been built for specific public exhibitions or with outdoor exhibitions and commissions in mind. They are created from multiple parts. They often have open, transparent areas, in contrast to solid forms. They are poly formed as opposed to monolithic. I have developed the physical resources to construct my sculptures in my own studio. My creative process requires organizing separate parts into a whole. Initially much of this activity is spontaneous, both in large and small scale work. The elements are all fabricated individually then assembled by welding and bolting. The act of assembly and disassembly contribute to the ease of construction and installation and add to the aura of complexity in the work and is a part of my creative process. Although I develop my work in different sizes I am committed to creating large-scale sculpture. I have successfully installed large scale sculpture temporarily and permanently. I have worked with Departments of Public Works, Engineers, Architects, Advisory Committee’s and other forms of infrastructure to develop and install large-scale public sculpture in Art Parks, Communities, Universities and Colleges throughout the Mid-West and South.
