About The Artwork

In a galaxy far far away, legend has it that the Phaëton Interceptor, with unmatched technological prowess and brute firepower, played a crucial role in tipping the balance of control throughout the heavens. More than a conversation starter, the visual effect and the menacing countenance of this radical space fighter will send the imagination reeling into hyperspace. The sculpted body of the vessel with its ornate relief is a treasured artifact in its own right. Google "Barbour S.P. International Co. #3328 sliver-plated vase" to appreciate the intrinsic value of this single component. The dramatic profile is 28 inches in length and is accentuated with 3 lights: in the glass portion of the nosecone; in the amber truck light cockpit; and a special flame bulb as the rear thruster. (All bulbs are accessible for replacement.) Other features include a silver-plated champagne flute (the nose-spire), a set of silver-plated salt and pepper shakers (the wing cannons) and vintage glass marbles. A free-standing heavy-metal base is included with a spherical design that can facilitate the display of the Phaëton in a variety of ways. Each of my original sculptures is painstakingly hand-constructed and designed to make a provocative statement that compliments any modern décor.

THE FINE ART OF SPACE EXPLORATION: Repurposing vintage found-objects to a high level of aesthetics is not rocket science but it does require an evolved design sense, not to mention a deep appreciation of Americana. I dedicate a great deal of attention to creating sculptures that are truly artistic and truly captivating in their ability to transport you back through the good times while simultaneously launching your imagination to a futuristic world charged with excitement. I remember as the future unfolded right before my eyes in 1968. A gigantic space station, serenaded by The Blue Danube Waltz, spun weightlessly on the movie theater screen as 2001: A Space Odyssey fixed my creative trajectory to pursue a degree in fine art, establish a life-long career in art and design and eventually to work on what I call Retro Rockets: everyday mid-century items thoughtfully transformed into beautiful sculptures wired for lighting and other effects. My mission is to convert the ordinary, not only into extraordinary spacecraft, but also into time machines to those by-gone glory-days of space exploration and adventure.
