"Forging yellow hot steel is as much
an art form in process as the resulting piece. I
thrive on exploring both the physical techniques
and unlimited design possibilities. Many times a
vision of a finished piece is an opportunity for
investigating or discovering a process through
experimentation to achieve a design element. I
am continually amazed by the mediums ability to
be moulded hot relatively easily into endless
shapes and textures from heavy jagged, to smooth
gentle fluid lines that are equally enduring."
"I feel that it is so important to challenge
myself to create designs that are not typical
for ironwork because the resulting expression is
individual and intriguing. My approach to this
work is with a touch of naiveté and bags full of
patience. This establishes a borderless
environment for the creative process."
