During the 38 years that I have been making sculpture, I have worked in clay, wood, steel and stone. Each of these materials requires mastering a specific set of skills, and proficiency with distinctly different types of tools. As a result, the whole process of sculpture, for me, has been a continual learning process in pursuit of specific sculptural concepts.

Over the years I have become confortable working in each of these media, both individually and in combination. Consequently, many of my sculptures often utilize several media within a single piece. Throughout my career I have produced grounded sculpture, suspended kinetic works, as well as wall-mounted pieces.

Formally my work falls into two basic categories: curvilinear shapes with some pieces exhibiting bio-morphic references, and geometric constructions with sharper, more angular configurations. My sculpture tends to be large scale, not for the sake of size, but simply because of the way I perceive line resolving itself in space.

My primary concern as an artist has always been freedom -- freedom from the constraints of pre-conceived artistic ideals and the freedom to pursue one's aesthetic vision to its conclusion. In that sense the creation of sculpture becomes a statement of personal freedom that goes well beyond the object one creates.
