My work is influenced by organic shapes found in the natural world as well as abstract line drawings I create that translate themselves into subconcious and abstract forms. I am interested in the contrast between the natural and man made world. For example, how organic shapes that represent nature can be pounded from pieces of flat steel and welded together to create abstract and organic forms. The steel is a canvas that presents emotions, ideas, thoughts, and experiences that transform themselves into a sculptural work of art. My work can also be figurative and inspired by real people as well as human qualities that influence and motivate me.
