Statement

In this exhibit, I’ve combined industrial materials, industrial fabrication processes and industrial coatings to build “industrial art.” The sculptures I’ve created are simple in form and stout in structure.

My palette has largely been derived from the colors of the welding gas cylinders stored alongside my local welding supply store.  Each piece in the exhibit is actually a maquette, which I hope build at a larger scale one day. Some of the sculptures in the exhibit have in fact already been built at a larger scale.
