The Art of the Ages
For me it’s a necessity to work directly with the raw mediums in traditional ways. There is a connection with the ancient times that I feel during the preparation and activity of casting an artwork.
In my casting style I sometimes encourage a random activity as to give each piece a uniqueness unto itself. For instance, in casting the bronze Seafarer mask, bent and broken propellers were used and sand and clay from here from the ground that I live. I think in a way the source of the materials truly invibes the artwork that is created, and the process which with many crafts are time honored and secretive since knowledge is power. This makes for a colorful journey through my own processes of being a living artist. I regularly do commissioned metal castings where you, the customer, can choose materials even using personal items for an example in a spiritual, devotional art work or a memorial artwork.
