About the Artist
My art reflects my early and continuing studies in History (BA), Philosophy (MA), and Geology (Ph.D). The result is an aesthetic combining natural and physical processes with an awareness that we are human observers of these processes; the authors of their emotional and spiritual resonance for us. Nature is herself the most subtle sculptor, creating and destroying her own works. It is the flux rather than the stability in the life of an object or person that fascinates me. It is an abiding mystery that minds and objects come to be for a time and then cease to exist except in our own memories. I hope that my sculptures distill and concentrate that mystery for you.- http://www.FireSteelAndWood.com

About the Art
About the Process
I enjoy working in steel and wood, sometimes combining the two media in one piece. Forged steel, dismantled industrial debris, and fire-scarred wood are particularly attractive to me since they each have a visible history of flame, deformation, and decay. These histories are literal aspects of the material’s initial and final states and serve as proxies for personal emotional histories. Rarely do materials and emotions behave in predictable ways. Often they impose their will on me more than I do on them.Explore Nearby Studios
