Catch Up

For those of you who are new to this site and my work, there are 3 of my interviews available here. They should give you all of the history that you need.

Big changes have taken place in the past few years. The main one is the fact that I had to stop carving marble. Using power tools for over 30 years brought on a vascular problem in my hands that hurt enough to make me stop. What’s left in inventory is probably the last of it. If I miss anything in my life it’s the noise, dust and physical joy of cutting stone but … I’m on to other things and the creative juices are still flowing.

I’ve been painting on a regular basis and in those paintings, I’m constantly looking for ways to get more texture and a three-dimensional quality on a two-dimensional plane. In the last several months the work has taken a major jump conceptually and I am now creating three-dimensional wall sculpture and then using that as a base for a painting. Complicated, challenging, and something that I think is very new. It takes about a month to do each piece so I’m not ready for a show yet. Stay tuned.
