Artist Statement:
My work is a culmination of
years as a blacksmith along
with my formal studies at the
University of Wisconsin's art
school in River-Falls, where I
majored in sculpture.
While many steel sculptures
are choosing to jump on the
rusty bandwagon of popular
"industrial grunge" as a
representation of steelwork, I
choose instead to forge the
lines and forms of metal, as a
respect to those master
metalsmiths who came before.
Using blacksmithing techniques
learned from old smithies, I
work the metal with forge and
hammer. Creating one of kind
works of art that will last.
I have experiemented with
forms that are naturally
two-deminsional, such as
Arabic calligraphy and forged
it into three deminsional
forms. ...
