It may be helpful to you hearing from me a few words about the sculpture. You'll see quartz used in some sculpture and this is done because I like quartz and want it there as a kind of good company while I work on other aspects of the sculpture.

Steel is used in a variety of helpful ways: it is strong and will often in judicial ways support some rather delicate ideas. Stone and concrete can help in need of mass and weight, whether the stone is chosen or the concrete is manipulated.

I'm fulfilling a nonverbal vision when I make sculpture. Even with all the necessary mechanics of putting pieces together, measuring, opening cans of paint etc... It is still essentially a visual experience. I don't talk to myself with words while making decisions. It's because it is the best way I know how to concentrate on the subject and I feel in the end you get the most focused and unencumbered experience from the art because of it.

Drawing in some cases is a way for me to see the development of a sculpture, to work out the direction the forms will need to take. Some drawings are inspired images in themselves and exhibit their own contained expression. Another type of drawing is a built image that is done with sumi on arches rag paper. These can take some time and are more in the realm of a painting.

I'm interested in everything and everybody to some extent. The art I make is an abstract expression of that interest. These art works are my artist's statement. The quality of the way the work was made is the human element people recognize and take with them.
