I’m a junk man.
I look at rusty scraps of metal, cheap plastic bowls and weathered wood differently than most.
I collect.
My clay work is constructed from things I find, pieces of scrap that life has left behind or useful everyday things otherwise not associated with clay at all.
They are my first step, a means to my end. |

I’m focused when I work. The finished piece is in my head. It’s just a matter of finding the right thing to get it out.
A piece of scrap wood becomes a plaster mold. A roll of sheet metal becomes a cylinder. And safety cones at a construction site become a vessel.
Art is all around me. When I look hard, I always see it.
