"Windsail - (Dances with the Wind)

I am inspired by geometry and fascinated by balance. I work in welded metal, often in four dimensions, with time revealing the kinetics of a piece. As a former filmmaker, I have learned the power of motion and the delight of surprise. Windsail is a good example of this. And while I employ both hand and power tools, all of my work is “robot free”, so one can see the “hand of the artist” in each piece. I believe in and support public art that provides both attractions for visitors and opportunities for artists, and pay it forward by teaching welded sculpture courses."
