My Process

Assemblages-mostly wall boxes with recycled frames, incorporating found and made objects to express an idea. Kinetic Objects-hand build wall stages using recycled wood with enclosed metal figures hand cut from recycled sheet metal moving on the counterweight principle, and small kinetic figures.

My Inspiration

Inspired by life-long daily encounters with humans, animals, nature, reading, and cultural experiences. Also by Fairy Tales read as a small child. Other ideas come from dreams, or doodling when I am on the phone. Most visual encounters leave some subconscious imprint, which may influence the work.

Fun Facts

not funny, just an interesting fact - I repousse my metal figures, and out of curiosity, one day I was counting the hammer strikes to make one small figure - it came to 1650 hammer strikes. I also need to file the edges - that was over 1200 strikes. I thought that was quite an impressive number.
