I would describe myself as a megalomaniac with a strong sense of minimalism. As a sculptor the majority of my work is three-dimensional, ranging from large-scale installation to tight calculated object making. The concepts I work with demand the tools, materials, and techniques needed to approach the work. I maintain a wide material palette often utilizing and combining foam, wood, glass, fabric and blood. I cultivate diverse skill sets to accommodate the differences from one pursuit to the next. The objective of this writing is to explore the work, the processes, the rational, the influences, and provide background that attempts to explain how the work was conceived but does not attempt to make conclusions about how the work lives on.
The following is an investigation of my work and research over the last two years. It is an inventory of influences, physical descriptions of the work and the processes use to make it. I have selected thoughts, descriptions and memories I find to be relevant to creating things now. Art is a language, vast and undulating with no rules, no set format, no absolutes, only traditions built in the past and the evolutions of the present.
