Artist Statement
Whether the end product is through forging, welding or desktop method, the essence of my art lies in the blacksmithing tradition. Reshaping a lifeless, cold material, such as steel, is an immensely rewarding effort. Informed by the natural world, the lines in my work have been developed, and continue to grow, as a tribute. The integration of traditional forging techniques with contemporary fabrication technologies is necessary and allows for limitless possibilities. It is clear that upon completion of a piece that I have visited all surfaces and claimed them for the aesthetic enjoyment of the viewer.
