MIXED MEDIA
“Between going and staying the day wavers, in love with its own transparency.
The circular afternoon is now a bay where the world in stillness rocks.
All is visible and all elusive, all is near and can’t be touched.
Paper, book, pencil, glass, rest in the shade of their names.
Time throbbing my temples repeats the same unchanging syllable of blood.
The light turns the indifferent wall into a ghostly theatre of reflections.
I find myself in the middle of an eye, watching myself in its blank stare.
The moment scatters. Motionless, I stay and go: I am a pause.” Octavio Paz
While metal sculpting is sublime, assemblage strikes another chord within me. It's the perfect medium to combine my boundless collection of found objects and global curios - each piece carrying its own story, texture and resonance. Even disks from an abandoned tire factory or scrap wooden planks become canvases for two-dimensional works while antiques and artifacts transform into the structural backbones of my sculptural creations. Every object holds its own melody, and when the right composition emerges, the ensemble sings.
Now based in the greater St. Louis area —a place where falcons and vultures soar, wild turkeys and deer wander, and marmots wreak havoc - my garage loft serves as an immersive creative sanctuary. Here, I continue to paint and develop Memoryscapes: a series that transforms found objects, antiques, stones, shells, and long-forgotten artifacts into original works exploring the interconnectedness of all things—each distinct, yet never separate from the whole, much like you and me.
If you have a drawer or closet full of seemingly random keepsakes, CONTACT me. Don’t discard those broken or dust-riddled pieces; I can transform them into a bespoke Memoryscape, crafted to honor your personal history or memories, or design a singular installation for your home or clients.
