PUBLIC SCULPTURE

Why public sculpture?

Public art can have transformative power for positive change, opening minds and hearts to alternative realities. I attempt to create such art despite the pressures of the marketplace in our consumer society. I search for materials and objects that speak to me with the promise of sublime creations that will amaze, or tickle or surprise or give pause to think. I enjoy the mental game of taking consumer discards and making the mundane and common into the unique and spectacular.

I am disturbed by the downward spiral of environmental destruction and in my art I illustrate a possible future Anthropocene of hybrid flowers and animals made of twisted metal. I feel it is the job of the artist to present unpleasant truths on such subjects as global warming and reflect on the horrors that the mass media does not mention.
