About
Fisheye is a welded composition of steel cast-offs and discarded steel made into a sculpture.
I am mostly a metal sculptor, using welded steel as my main medium.
I also am an experimental printmaker using the steel that I work with to create rust patterns on archival paper. These are sometimes made into assemblages and coated with encaustic wax.
I also do traditional printmaking, linocuts, engravings and silkscreen prints.
Moonscape is a tribute to my childhood memories of my father who introduced me to viewing the full moon with a powerful telescope.
Attraction is an abstract representation of the idea of attraction.
The hand is represented in many cultures, the heart denotes the idea of friendship and love.
