Abstract Figurative Bronze -

As stated in the introduction, my interest lies in abstract figurative sculpture using the lost wax bronze casting method. The human body holds such universal identification, complexity, and mystery. Attitudes, emotions, and spirit can be depicted through a gestural form. Personal relationships, self-portrait, or popular myth hold my fascination.

The Illusion of Volume and Mass in Twisted Form -
I create an open structural illusion to imply volume and mass. I search to capture the human essence within the folded and twisted wax that is then cast into bronze.

Unique Casts vs. Edition Copies:
Unique casts are often considered more valuable by art collectors being one-of-a kind. But sometimes after works are sold, I will still re-sculpt new variations on a theme into smaller or larger versions for myself or clients.
