My sculpture derives from stone forms. I am interested in mass and simplicity, with gentle curves, formed by fracturing and weathering. I was commissioned to do a steel piece for the Allison Inn & Spa in Newberg, Oregon. I added western red maple burl as an organic, contrasting element to the more rectangular volumes of the steel elements. I am continuing to combine wood and also clay with steel to achieve this same contrast.

I am drawn to weathered metal as much as to stone and am forever dragging some shot-up, rotting piece of steel home to my studio. They often end up unaltered on a wall or are used later in a "not-so-found object" composition. Wood-fired porcelain Accretion Disks are exercises in texture and spontaneity and bear in mind my notion that a finished clay work should not show any traces of my hands or tools. They represent, loosely, disks of matter in orbit being drawn together by gravity, as the name suggests.

No sculpture is available at this time.
