Because of my training as an artist-blacksmith, I prefer forging and hot working methods over machining and mechanical fabrication.I prefer to shape metal by heating, bending and hammering rather than cutting and grinding. This hand worked element is what satisfies me in a completed piece. I believe in the saying, “You get the kind of work you do,” so I try to be as versatile as possible, doing my best and taking on interesting and unique projects whatever they are. Metal is an unforgiving material to work with but a small amount can support great weight, physically and visually. I like to make a piece that fits perfectly into it's surroundings, either as a part of the whole or as a natural focal point. |
