I make wall art, sculptural works and combinations of the two.

Tools: Large format Xerox machine, Xerox machine, cameras, computer, tape recorder, belt sander and art tools.
Substrates: Wood, old corrugated steel and cardboard.
Materials: Paper and cloth (new & found), found object, glues, varnishes, spray paint, house paint, wallpaper paste, joint compound, photographed images, appropriated published images and sound.
The feel: I can best describe one direction as vintage… worn and distressed, like old signs along the road or found in a dusty old barn. Sometimes the work is busy and cluttered.
There is also an overriding atmosphere of POP... I like primary colors, BIG work, found objects, cheapness of materials, three dimensionality, fashion, advertising and cultural icons.
I also like to make tangible, my inner world. I work in an intuitive manner… bouncing around…. adding and subtracting until it arrives where I want it. I return to pieces and change them. I return to previously used imagery and rework it.
I always look to the past and to current artists for inspiration.
