Artist's Statement:  "The imagism in my sculptures, wall constructions, and drawings are influenced by an exploration of the essential nature of the medium, their suggestibility, and the processes utilized in combining dissimilar shapes. The process for sculptures in metal involves the direct manipulation of materials with structural steel forms and flame-cut drop outs altered by torch cutting and machining, and further refined by hand. However, surface and color solutions finalized in the sculptures were initially explored in drawings. Paint and patination were applied to shapes to emphasize, define, enhance, contrast, or chromatically contradict surfaces. The power of the accumulative materials evolves into a gestural presence: an immediate sense perception of form laden with symbolic significance. The objects are abstract constructions - the imagery, subjective."

Sincerely,
