Curls and Swirls
Curls and Swirls We went snorkeling in Key West for spring break. It involved a boat ride out to reef about 7 miles from shore. Besides seeing a 6′ barracuda, we saw some really fascinating corals. Thus an artist can find inspiration anywhere, but especially 20 foot down on a coral reef. Beautiful. Size: 20″…
Read MoreBifurcated Serpentes
Bifurcated Serpentes A bit of a departure for me from my usual style. I took a glass called “Pinching Giacometti” from Vesper College (great people over there — thanks Dan and Heidi). It was an interesting experiment to bend without heat. I prefer the sweat involved with a scorchingly hot rosebud over lead-infused metal. But…

Infused Squid This was part of my copper pipe phase. More bending and twisting and heating with an interesting patina. This one also has fused glass elements I created for a class. Size: 48″ x 30″ x 9″ Price: $4500
Read MoreWarrior Pose
Warrior Pose I’ve been a yoga fan for several years now. I saw these flat disks of metal and saw the beauty of the warrior pose. Give them some heat and some hammer action along with a nice patina and now we have motion and flow. Size: 38″ x 22″ x 9″ Price: $1800

Read MoreEnlightened Copper Bend
Enlightened Copper Bend Copper is an everyday material that is in most of our homes. In general, it is very utilitarian and hidden from view. How often do you even think about the plumbing or wiring of your home? What would you do without electricity? Copper is one of my favorite materials. It can bend…
Read MoreNative
Native This piece was inspired by my friend Sam. He had all these tank bottoms (the round objects) and he said I could use some. That, and a bit of square tubing I found, and we end up with Native. Size: 7′ x 6′ x 3′ Price: $3000
Read MoreTilt
Tilt I’ve always been fascinated with ancient ruins. It feels like history to me. What was there? Why was it abandoned? This one is my largest piece to date. Size: 10′ x 7′ x 3′ Price: $5000
Read MoreGet your art (free) here.
I posted it on Facebook and I’ll put it here. If you are looking for art from yours truly, please ask. I’m looking to bust out a bunch of art. Like I wrote in an earlier post I’m looking to exercise my writing muscles. The same applies to my sculpture muscles. Those people I know…
