Artist Statement:
The geological formations of
Arizona, and the relationship
the local people have with
this piece of earth moved me
to focus on ceramic stoneware
forms that relate human
attributes to stone, and
earthen aspects to humans.
There I began to incorporate
hand building with clay,
statue restoration trade
secrets, metal, and the use of
resins to achieve his
high-fired stoneware
creations, which range in size
from small to heights of ten
feet or more.
My art is heavily figurative
and illustrates 'the
distorted realism of the human
condition'. They transmit
human qualities from
compassion and understanding,
to degradation and despair.
Confronting the gambit of
human emotional states and
physical conditions, I try to
relate my observations
honestly. Sometimes it is
beautiful, sometimes it is
not, but life is not always
pretty. I look for simple
truths to illustrate that may
not be seen by all. I continue
to be inspired by observing
individuals and their
interactions with each other,
society and the earth.
