Metal and glass are wonderful materials but are difficult to bring together into an artistic sculpture that is more than just a utilitarian (lamps and such) object. Each material requires different processes and tools to form, colorize, and combine. I enjoy the challenge of starting with an idea and allowing the attributes and limitations of the materials to direct me to the final sculpted outcome. Some ideas come from nature and some wander in from the realm of abstraction and fantasy but each idea travels through its own history and finally emerges with a physical expression of its own.
