Pieces in the "Shrine" series are some of the first and latest sculptures I have made. Works related to that series are also featured here. Several were inspired by the dream detailed below. Like the man in the dream, the mundane and broken objects of my sculptures resonate to me with importance and secret meaning. 

Years ago, I dreamt of a man who wandered alone through a ruined landscape. Humanity had long since been laid low by war and disease. After generations of ever-weakening survivors, he was the last man alive. Despondent and lonely, he sifted through the rubble of towns and cities, gathering fragments of metal, glass and machined lumber. Such things must have importance, he reasoned, since they endured the catastrophe. From this eccentric collection, he fashioned strange objects of worship and placed them in and around each ravaged place he visited. Like a forlorn cargo cult of one, he hoped the god-like creators of the fallen civilization would see his offerings and return. Many of the works you see here are what I saw him create.

The "Pueblo" series was inspired by Native American petroglyphs. "Dragoman's Keys" are an offshoot of the "Shrine" series with experimentations in bold colors. "Meditation 4" continues my exploration in the "glorification of the mundane." The "Brush-off" series was inspired by Duchamp's "readymades" and Man Ray's "The Gift." "Dreaming City G" proposes that the inorganic components of a city create one, gigantic, semi-sentient being. As it sleeps, it dreams of its many layers and storied past. The dream below relates some of my inspirations.

The objects used in creating the "Logic" series are all personal items I've collected since the 70's. There are vintage PC boards from my father, some of my brother's old toys, pieces from old games and various items found in my home and studio. Each item has a personal memory and emotional significance. The dream below relates some of my inspirations.

"Marquis" was completely intuitive and created from the ground up with no plans or sketches in about a week. It was a true pleasure to create. "Transceivers," though less far complex, took careful planning and exact measurements. The "Orpheum" series was an offshoot of the "Transceivers" and were inspired by art deco flourishes. "Bebop" was part of a small series inspired by jazz music. The dream below relates some of my other inspirations.
