Furthermore, the chance effects caused by small explosions, fires, and molten splatters, inherent in welding and melting metal that is rusty, greasy, dirty, and often with remnants of paint, are all part of the creative process which defines the sculptures.
A piece of a pole with a bolt that appears to be randomly welded onto it was the inspiration for "Screwed." The body consists of broken blades which follow the curves of a woman's figure. Similarly,"She Has Balls" is comprised of a pole and blades; the narrative is derived from the discovery of the metal balls which I welded onto the blade base.
Rebar is always available in the scrap pile which influenced my preplanning of a tall sculpture. However, when I arrived at the ranch I could only find small pieces and had to rethink the concept which resulted in “Standing In A Forest.” A woman is cut out of a long piece of steel and the resulting curves allow her to stand out instead of simply standing tall.
My artwork has been exhibited internationally in galleries and museums.
