Sculpture
home
The organic forms that develop themselves in my 'Evaporation' paintings seem to come alive and want to jump out of the canvas into three-dimensional space.
This resulted in the development of my newest series of sculptures that are made of painted aluminum and steel. The materials are hand or spray-painted and the shapes are wired (to imitate drawing) onto the form or welded to complete assemblies.
These sculptures have a sense of passionate play and erotica, as well as the possibility of violence. Struggling to evolve from a mire of atomic soup, they convey a total sense of joy and a celebration of life in its most basic attitudes.

combine clays, organic materials, and oxidized metals to create
mysterious, provocative environments or to present complementary or
adverse relationships between materials.
These assemblies are the recognition of the beauty found in various
materials discarded as waste. Influenced by the science of materials, I
am offering the viewer a visual representation of the beautiful colors
and textures that occur during physical and chemical reactions toward
these found materials. The sculptures or ‘three dimensional
paintings’ are often about time, forces of nature (such as
currents and flow), trees and wood, particle materials, minerals and
fossils, line and form, all elements in nature. |
