ARTIST'S STATEMENT I strive to produce commissioned work which is invested with my vision and my sensibilities as a designer and my skill as a craftsman; work based upon my interaction with individuals and their environments. Whether speaking of projects for individual clients or work for public spaces, this has always been an enticing and rewarding challenge. Although much of the work I design and produce is contemporary in design, most all of what I make is deeply rooted in traditional techniques. My work is based on working with fire, hammer and anvil; ancient processes of hot forging iron and steel. Thus, the work is invested with strong visual character of joinery details and surface character not possible to produce by any other methods. |
