The Artist 's statement: An early fascination with modeling the human shape and direct stone carving set a form language that continues its influence in the sinuous formation that evoke the arching feelings that characterize his work. In his early years, the sculpture created and cast in human form and stone carving in abstract. In more recent years, work has been responding to requests for abstract metal sculptures for gardens and commercial locales. The works created by welding and brazing metal are now primarily in abstraction images used from imagination and inspired by nature's growths. The aim always inspire audiences to respond to the works positively. The work compares to historical or contemporary artwork and fits within many have been created in history.
