About My Work
Most of my work is sculpture in the form of assemblages and bronzes.
All my pieces underlie a belief that the arts should provide nourishment
for the soul and be uplifting. Beauty is the most essential element.
My sculpture is created in a spontaneous and intuitive way (supported
by a solid technical base). It is mostly figuratively based tending
towards abstraction. Harmony and equilibrium are important qualities.
About six years ago, with my kiln temporarily out of action, I
started to play with the many found objects that had accumulated
in my studio. To my amazement, as I juxtaposed them, they transformed
themselves into interesting figurative shapes. Ever since then I
have collected distressed and seemingly worthless objects to transform
them into, what I hope are, beautiful pieces of art.
Some of my work acts as a vehicle for the playful and whimsical
side of my nature whereas other pieces(especially the bronzes) are
inspired by classical myths and symbols found in ancient cultures.
