About the Artist

My steel sculpture and furniture are characterized by fluid, graceful designs that are juxtaposed with the straightforward qualities of traditional forged ironwork. I strive to transform the cold, hard nature of steel into work that embodies movement and invites touch. Forging and forming allow me to exploit the malleability of heated metal and to manipulate curve and volume, resulting in pieces that feature surface texture while appearing to have been created spontaneously. The forging and forming tools of traditional blacksmiths are the implements of my work. Distinctive joinery elements and surface textures that result from working by hand are integral to the character of each piece, in particular the large wall sculptures, wherein the rivets are both functional and decorative.
