“Over the past thirty-five years, I have developed an increasingly spare vocabulary of forms. At one time more organic, my pieces have gradually become more geometric through the influence of both process and choice of material. My earliest works were designed as clay models and then scaled up into laminated hardwood, kiln-dried boards glued together to create a stable mass. Wood was initially a choice of convenience, a permanent material, readily available, and easily worked with common tools. As I moved towards more regular solids, I eliminated the clay models and began to design pieces on a graph pad.  This process of working with a grid has influenced the shapes, as has the continued use of dimensional hardwood lumber.  Although I have never considered myself a woodworker, I now rarely think in terms of another material.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 “While not strictly serial, my pieces tend to evolve one out of the other.  One piece will often generate ideas for other variations. Although formal and abstract in design, my pieces are intended to be appreciated on a more intimate level as objects we encounter on a very human scale.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
