Artist Statement:
Broken tape measures. Animal bones. Rusted metal and tin. Piano keys. Spindles from broken chairs. Any and all old wood and metal I can get my hands on. I turn these discarded objects and materials into art. My mixed-media art is created using the techniques of hand carving, painting, welding, assemblage, sculpting and pyrography. I attempt to bring different genres and mediums into one piece, by recycling, refinishing and redesigning ordinary objects and old materials to give them new life as art. In using lost techniques, I try not to just make art but also preserve little pieces of history. I find inspiration from childhood obsessions and build ideas based on shape, design, form and color. I study art history, anatomy and the historical treatment of the materials that I use. Always experimenting with better ways to enhance definition and texture, I try to give personality and purpose to anything I work with.
