A-MAZ-ING

I wanted to show you how the sawblades look before they are cut apart.

This pair will be part of a sculpture which will be installed in New Jersey later this winter.

My Process:

First I used soapstone which can be easily erased while I am creating the desired look.  Then I outline the design with a magic marker for steel which allow me to see the image as I cut it out with my plasma cutter.

When I look at them, it still amazes me how they stay together after cutting!

Lights...Camera...ACTION!

Look What Blew into Chicago

Captured Flight landed in Elmhurst at my daughter's newly renovated home. Joyce and I were happy to see my sculpture hanging front and center in their living room. Jen, Jake and our grandchildren Hannah and Will were thrilled with our house warming gift.

Looking Sweet in Sweetwater, TN

Best wishes to Susan Morris and her knowledgeable staff on the re-opening of her expanded gallery in Sweetwater. I'm pleased have my sculpture represented by this gallery.
