Artist Profile

My sculptures are carved from one or multiple pieces of EPS using saws, a hot knife and a torch. I make thick, coarse shapes and edges, break things, melt, burn, texture and then finesse the chaos to its final form. After sealing with cement, the pieces are finished with copper, iron, glass, pumice, metal patinas and acrylic paints.

I believe we need to think differently about how we use materials. In my case, I am repurposing energy, turning Trash into Beauty. My art is a form of alchemy, the transformation of upcycled styrofoam into abstract and contemporary works of art.
