I make art. Mostly sculpture, or sometimes animation, sometimes painting. I often start with lots of sketches and drawings. But, occasionaly, I simply grab some materials then get to work.

This piece is called Edge Vibration, it is a piece I made somewhat recently. When finished, it inspired some other ideas that I am currently working on. The mechanism that makes it move is passive and respondes to vibrations from the surrounding environment. It particularly responds to heavy thuds, low base range sounds or nearby breezes; will cause it to vibrate and its parts will wiggle. It's fun to watch peopple play with it in a gallery setting while also trying to maintain decorum.

When moving, I had to dismantle my wood workbench and decided to take the opportunity to rebuild it a bit smaller for my new space and with some additional features. Here I am using a smaller bench that I made because I need an interim bench to rebuild the old one. I am cutting through a piece of white oak that is roughly 2.5" thick and 4.5" wide; this will support one end of the top of the renewed better-for-sculpture bench.

Saying Goodbye to the old space. I recently moved my studio location and have switched my process from mostly metal work to a combination of reclaimed materials, now primarily wood and some metal, with occasional other items like discarded plastics.
