Crown Jewel

The essence of assemblage sculpture doesn’t rely on beauty alone but instead integrates the composition of a sculpture’s structure and form. To bring cold, clumsy masses of steel into order, into a sense of freedom, poses a lusty challenge in working with the medium. I openly accept this challenge, knowing abstract sculpture is a noble pursuit if the aesthetic moves the viewer.

Often, my need to create is insatiable, which cushions my perpetual drive to fashion a poem, an art piece, a meal, or a painting. What better way to live than within the creative realm of an artful life, composing physical forms in space.

Round forms are beautiful, complete, and full of romance. The industrial revolution accustomed us to squares and angles, which are hard straight lines for the eyes. But I believe that because of the natural curve of the eye, curvilinear shapes will always trump squares and hard angles. Therefore, the majority of the art I assemble is fluid and round. To me, circles represent the continuation of, and the very essence of, the loop of life we all experience.
