artist statement

My work is mainly about bits and pieces and connecting the bits and pieces. Finding the right piece is everything. Sometimes this element is immediately at hand and sometimes it is very elusive. At times, certain elements are needed and not available and I must conjure them up from the local junkyard or the roadside or from my own previously collected and sprawling palette. I like for the elements in my work to not be so recognizable yet obviously from some other utility and not without some history. The color of the paint is best when it is aged and faded and full of character. It's not the pieces I that are important but rather the pieces I choose to not use. The sculpture that are the most successful for me are the ones that look the most like they just fell together; which may not be exactly the case.
