About The Artwork
In this work I oxidize pure steel plate, allowing natural processes to shape their own forms, which I can suggest but not enforce. Other forces are at play - gravity, fluid dynamics, wind as I work outdoors. It remains out in nature, rusting and I nudge and accelerate the processes to black and brown rust, and some red patina, applying intense heat and caustic chemicals. In stark contrast, the gold leaf remains intact. Around it, the steel changes, rusts, blossoming colors and shapes that form in front of my eyes and without my intrusion. I apply resin to freeze the moment in time, to capture that change, the evolution and expansion. All while the gold remains forever unchanged, as a thread of constancy within a world of change.

I've been an artist of one form or another all my life. I am drawn to weathered wood and metal, exploring their contrast with gold and other metal leaf. I find fascination and beauty in natural processes of aging, the rusting of metals into vibrant colors and the complex textures seen in old, reclaimed woods. My work explores the innate art in these expressions of natural impermanence, often contrasted with the enduring permanence of gold. I believe that art can speak to the heart and to the senses in ways beyond words.
