I have been creating large scale sculpture for public environments since 1975: throughout the USA, in 27 countries, with 24 throughout China alone.  There are several in Germany: at Mayen and Durbach.

I create sculpture on any scale, in a wide range of materials, in various motifs & types of installation.  While many of my projects have been in various kinds of metal, such as stainless steel, I especially like working with stone.  My sculpture projects tend to be abstract, often geometric in one way or another.  Certain projects might have more literal, naturalistic, humanistic or figurative aspects. My stone sculptures tend to be a balance of natural qualities with human interventions.  My sculpture may be seen as iconic, for the most part, or symbolic, very often referencing a centre, whether actual or spatial.  I often work with balance; space in contrast with form; implied space & ambiguity if incorporating mirror surfaces; a continuum, implied or actual; light and darkness; interior & exterior; natural/organic with man-made. 

My sculpture is an attempt to give form to the concept of unity.  Unity is seen throughout nature at every level, whether material or in relationship.  Movement is constant, whether on the sub-atomic or galactic level.  And it is all united by various forms of structure, shaping the physical & energetic realms, which I strive to embody in my sculpture
