Untitled Sculpture

Abstract sculpture dealing with light as it moves across altered surfaces. Whether heated, cooled, plasma cut, sawed, or welded, the steel represents a material refined from the earth that is ripe for further artificial influence, yet still reminiscent of a natural occurrence. As man-made as the medium inherently is, it is just as inherently derivative of circumstances devoid of man's influence; here, the artist's hand is in direct conversation with nature's. Art and Life, running forever parallel, and manifesting in this stable form that builds up and breaks down into shifting essences.
