I seem to
run into trouble with most gallery folks and I haven't been able to sort it all out. I like working with steel and
do have some ambitions I want to explore further. Working with recycle metals makes it possible to work relatively quickly.
This allows for a little bit of whimsy, passion and a lot of expression.
The gallery folks say
I'm all over the place and should focus. They're right but I say flexibility provides wiggle room, really helps
an artist stay fresh and try something new. To challenge one's self and break molds that inevitably occur when a
person does the same process over and over. Having started out stone carving, I really miss being able to pound, chisel,
sand, finish, etc. I also felt I wanted to "go heroic" and that - in stone - is truly a monumental undertaking
just in shipping, purchasing and time carving is more than I could bare with the markets like they are.
Finding these steel parts also involves getting involved with people, creating friendships
and dialogue that, for them anyway, is just off the wall enough to be remembered.
