I have been creating asemblages with found objects and industrial artifacts for the past thirty years. I try to combine the colors, shapes, and textures of materials in such a way that the viewer can perceive their inherent beauty -- not to mention the new construct that has resulted from their combination -- without being distracted by any cultural predispositions that they may have acquired about the objects themselves. In 2008 I moved my studio into two spacious rooms in my new home in Fairfax, California. You can reach me there at (415) 721-7501.
My piece Midnight at the Cubist Garage was selected for the annual Cloverdale, California Sculpture Exhibit in 2005. Two of my larger outdoor pieces, Astrolabe and Blue Sign , are on loan to the Carl Cherry Art Center in Carmel, California, following a Pacific Rim Sculpture Group show there in early 2009.
Over the years, I have contributed pieces such as One-string Totem (2002) to be auctioned off during the annual Ritter House "Art With A Heart" exhibition and auction in San Rafael, California. Monkish Door sold there in 2003, as did Composition in Blue and Brown in 2004.
These are a few other shows that I've been in recently, and some representative pieces:
"Marin Artists Annual Juried Exhibition," Falkirk Cultural Center, San Rafael, CA, 2003-2009 (Hot Time)
"Annual Invitational," Gallery Route One, Point Reyes Station, CA, 2003-2008 (The Ruffian)
"California Works," California State Fair, Sacramento, CA: 1st place, 2nd place, Special Achievement Award, 2004, 2005 (White Box)
"Found My Heart in the Junkyard" (one-man show) Gallery Route One, Point Reyes Station, CA, 2005 (Pigs on Kerosene, Flying Jackstand)
"Funky California" (one-man show) Gallery Route One, Point Reyes Station, CA, 2007 (Show highlights)
“Pacific Rim Sculpture,” RAW Space, The Uptown, Oakland, CA, 2009 (Show highlights -- my three pieces are on the right
A note about permanence
Since pieces that remain with me are likely to evolve, and to have their constituent parts incorporated into new assemblages, I can't guarantee that a piece that you like won't continue changing after it has been taken down from a show. Many don't, but a significant number do. Please let me know if you're particularly struck by a specific piece, and I'll do my best not to touch it for awhile.
Thanks --
