ARTIST STATEMENT Working in the studio is what I love. I dare say more than anything else in this world. I aim to build a polished final product, clean and sophisticated. I prefer a balanced design aesthetic. Color and symmetry play an important role; craftsmanship is paramount. I frequently engineer hidden connections and employ techniques of forging, hollowware, cold connection riveting, and hot connection soldering/brazing/welding. My preferred materials are copper, bronze, steel and acrylic.
