Item Special Note
Artist Statement: Metal. It is man-made as well as natural. It is my canvas. Like a Zen alchemist, I work the surface, creating patinas through the application of an eclectic mix of chemicals & compounds on copper, brass, aluminum & steel. Through multiple applications I strive to achieve an amazing range of patterns, textures & colors. My inspiration is nature: whether its earthly & textural or lyrical & rhythmic. My artistic process is an ongoing exploration of certainty versus not knowing, controlling versus letting go. Instead of relying on a sketch, I establish an intuitive connection with the materials as I work with them. This process allows ideas to gradually evolve & change, as the metal is cut, bent, shaped & textured. It is an intimate process, both playful & challenging.
