Artist's Statement

My technique is brute force, decide-at-the-moment.

I have an affinity towards discarded metal. Weekly I travel to scrap metal yards throughout California, looking for interesting pieces of steel that have been tossed aside. When I find something special I grab it and take it back to my studio. It may take me only moments, or many months discover what that piece wants or needs to become, only then can I fulfill its destiny.

I incorporate patterns into all of my sculptures. Taking one piece, adding to it, or deleting from it, then ending when the work encompasses all of my creativity, this is what charges up my artistic energies. When my creative force is flowing, I work to completion. My art is finished when my creative flow ends.

I strive to create art that is completely unique, to create something no one has created before. I resist conformity and mass production.

Please enjoy all that you see.

One of my favorite metal sculptors is David Smith. Here is a transcript from one of his last interviews...

"I try to approach each thing without following the pattern that I made with the other one.

They can begin with any idea.

They can begin with a found object.

They can begin with no object.

They can begin sometimes even when I’m sweeping the floor and I stumble and kick a few parts that happen to throw into an alignment that sets me off in thinking, that sets off a vision of how it would finish if it all had that kind of accidental beauty to it.

I want to be like a poet, in a sense.

I don’t want to seek the same orders."

(1906 - 1965)

My words exactly.
