Demonstration:
The studio and grounds will be
open for people to tour. The
studio is broken down into areas:
metal, wood, stone, concrete,
assemblage and drawing. Each
area will have pieces in various
stages of completion. The
grounds are a menagerie of
biomorphic figurative sculpture
and installations set in the natural
environment. I’ll be available to
explain process, materials and
the sculptural language in my
work.
Directions to studio:
From Port Townsend: (Highway)19 to Chimacum. Right at blinking yellow light (West Valley Road) before Chimacum School – 4 miles down West Valley (before Gibb Lake Road) on right.
Artist statement:
I do biomorphic figurative work that explores the psychological nature of the human condition. I carve and construct in the automatic traditions of the surrealists "primitives", and expressionists. The work has more in common with "brut/outsider" art than with either modernism or post-modernism.
