I was first introduced to artistic welding shortly after college. After seeing a flyer at the local grocery store, I signed up for a ten-session class taught by a grizzled old metal artist in the hills of Wheelock, VT. Halfway through the first class, I was hooked. Maybe it was some archaic, testosterone-fueled, male power trip thing, but holding the power in my hands to liquefy metal and change it’s form to my own design was (and still is) a complete rush. My sculptures start out as discarded, previously-deemed scrap metal. I see interest, beauty and most of all, potential in the rusted remains of a piece of old farm equipment deserted in a field. I love the process of dismantling a “useless”, seized motor and harvesting the parts to then give them a new life as part of a sculpture. I feel that the true underlying core of my work; whether it is a sculpture of a fish or a functional bistro table is rebirth and renewal. People often ask me what my affinity for fish is, as that is the subject of many of my sculptures. My simple response is that is what I see in the metal as I work. I rarely set out to begin a sculpture with a definitive picture of what I want to create in my mind. Instead, I often find inspiration in a single piece of metal and use that as a jumping-off point for a sculpture. A section of saw blade may appear to me as the perfect fin, or a cog as an eye; whatever the case, the metal tells me what it wants to be. Staying true to the creative process that has guided my artwork to date, I wish to continue allowing my work to reflect my current disposition. Be it a stressful day at work or an observation made in passing, I have relied on these simple and yet intricate moments to elicit inspiration in the mangled metal I lay before myself. The implementation of a particular direction in my artwork not only would limit my creative potential, but be disingenuous to the process that inspired me to create in the first place. I always have, and always will strive for my artwork to be an accurate reflection of myself in the moment of its creation. I owe a debt of gratitude to all of the art teachers who provided inspiration and guidance throughout my academic career. These wonderful people include; Pat Stuntz, Janet Rae, and Peter Lange in graded and high school, and the truly amazing Dorian McGowan during my extended stay at Lyndon State College.
