Notes:
This is the video piece from my recent gallery installation at WorkSound. It’s a comedic stop-motion involving my other metal sculpture pieces. Enjoy.

“Pumppump” - Metal Work

Piece(s):
pumppump.jpgpumppump2.jpgpumppump4.jpg

Notes:
Another organic item I attempted to juxtapose inorganically. This is a anatomical horse heart, to scale 1:1.  It includes the main parts of the heart that I have since forgotten the names of, as well as the main Aorta. Perhaps one day I will have it transplanted into my chest.

“Minerals” - Metal Work

Piece(s):
minerals.jpgminerals2.jpgminerals3.jpg

Notes:
Albeit this piece is not my best in form, it is my best in concept. I wanted to configure an extremely organic activity into an inorganic medium. While this is not as mechanical as one could get, I thought the nature of the sheet metal carried the task rather well. This piece is lost as of 2007, after being displayed at CSUF’s rotating gallery and then disappearing.

“Julia” - Metal Work

Piece(s):

Notes:
Aptly named after the dragon-woman who inspired it, this piece is another one about a girl.

“Lovers” - Metal Work

Piece(s):
lovers.jpglovers2.jpglovers3.jpglovers5.jpglovers6.jpg

Notes:
Originally displayed together, then later separately, these two figures were the birth into my new generation of metal work. Their shapes, distinctly human, however their intricacies distinctly mechanical; they served to negotiate my own philosophical delusions. They will always be two of my favorite sculptures.

Formerly “Rage” - Metal Work

Piece(s):
mcdonalds.jpgmcdonalds2.jpgmcdonalds3.jpg

Notes:
A piece I did during the summer of 2006. More of a reaction to my other piece, “Lovers”, this was created from my current unspoken emotional state. This piece is also lost.

“Holly” - Metal Work

Piece(s):

Notes:
Like most things, about a girl.

“California” - Metal Work

Piece(s):
California 2California 1California 3

Notes:
This is a piece I built for my mother in 2005. I was quite poor at the time and was avoiding purchasing a gift for Mother’s day. It turned out she loved this more than anything I had bought her. This piece is now lost somewhere in southern Missouri after a tornado in 2006 that struck my parents home.
