Creating new designs using old techniques and crafting unique objects from mundane materials are challenges I embrace daily in my practice. Experimentation with various materials as well as exploration of technique have been fertile sources of creative inspiration throughout my career. I incorporate repurposed materials into my work regularly, and strive to design objects with contemporary relevance and embodied connections to place and history.

Q&A with the ArtistTell us how your work is made.I work primarily with iron and steel, utilizing the traditional forging techniques of blacksmithing, coupled with modern machining, fabrication and digital design. The methods I use to work directly with hot metal – heating it to temperatures that render it soft, malleable, and plastic, and shaping it using a hammer and anvil - are evident in the richly layered textures and remnant marks left upon my work at every step, revealing the determined and focused forces exerted in the creation of each piece. |
