ABOUT THE ARTIST

My metalworking is focused mainly around the transformation of found objects, usually of a machined or electrical nature, into insect-like creatures. I start by using found objects as a base for the creature’s body, interpreting its shape and form into something recognizable by the viewer as a living being. I’ll then bring this interpretation to life by adding forged, cast, and fabricated metal elements, afterwards creating a convincing surface finish with complex texture and color patterns. The process of imagining and breathing life into the inanimate is essential to the theme of this work, a theme which is essentially the power of imagination to excite and intrigue the audience. Viewers are able to take these machined and manufactured materials, a
well-suited opposite to organic matter, and mentally transform it into something that appears to be living and moving. This incredibletransformative ability speaks volumes of the human mind’s ability to imagine and play with whatever it sees.
