Sculpture as a Language.
Sculpture as a Language.
I use sculpture as a way to express the things, ideas and emotions that words can't (or at least my words can't).
Everything I do to turn that into something that people can see and touch is craft. There should be as little craft as possible so it doesn't detract from the concept and as much as is necessary to allow it to be seen.
Craft is skill, and scale, and finish, and material choice, and technology.Â
I started sculpting in the mid 70's using discarded materials from a summer job. Sculpture distracted me from what I was supposed to be doing for a few years before I behaved sensibly, and spent the next few decades in science and technology R&D.
I'm back, hoping to make up for lost time.
