This piece contrasts the subtlety of the human body with the simplicity and bluntness of the steel.

Checkmate

This combines a chess theme with a meditation on the complexities of social relationships.



 

 

Masks
assorted materials

These masks were first sculpted in wax. The bronze (second from the left) was then cast with a standard  lost wax
  process. I used an electroforming process similar to copper plating and a simple hammering process to make the other three

House in the Woods
maple
31"x12"x8"

I made this after
walking in the woods
and observing the complex
ecosystem that had sprung
up on a fallen log

 

Glyph
mahogany
26" x 10" x 11"


According to the Random House Dictionary, a glyph is a pictograph or hieroglyph. I'm fascinated by the fact that hieroglyphs
are coming back into usage (in the form of "universal" signs).
Woman's Work
maple and black walnut
height ~55"



I love fabric art and wish it were discussed
more in art history classes.
This piece represents a loom. The bench in front
of it is the place a woman would have sat while she was weaving.

Fabric piece on wall is by an unknown artist.

Pandora's Box
copper
17" x10" x10"
 
The bust is copper,  treated with a silver nitrate patina.  The box is also copper.  This is the result
of heating copper until it glows cherry red and then dousing it in ice water.

I've been experimenting with the idea of reflecting the sinuous motion of the human body by sculpting draped fabric

 Cloth Studies

The way a dropped piece of cloth falls is so incidental
it's interesting to render it in a  hard, durable medium like bronze.
   In my work, the image of a bunched piece of cloth can symbolize
  frozen time.  Sculpting something like this can be a fascinating meditative exercise, but it can also drive you out of your mind


fun with media...
 
Tigger
polymer resin

 

White Portrait
polymer resin

      

Screen sculpture is  a new medium.  I used the polymer image of the dog to generate another piece with screen. I like the fact that the object is "there" but also "not there".

       


...  arcane murals-- I love them.


        
A Diver Decides to Resurface

steel

Fossil 1
polyviner resin

Playing around with the fact that polymer clay
will take prints, I printed a few ferns from my
back yard.  I then sculpted some low relief
"stone age" fish and combined the two to create a
pseudo fossil.  Sometimes one can start with an idea
and start there.... other times you start with
what your eye tells you is meaningful and explore it
with no goal in mind.
