I try to enter into the emotions of my subjects as I work. I feel their tension and action in my own body while, at the same time, my brain is busy organizing the forms from an abstract point of view as a satisfying design from all sides and angles. In most pieces, there is a strong spiral element which leads the viewer to walk around the sculpture. No one view ever tells the whole story. This makes the pieces difficult to photograph, but it also discourages people from placing them in niches or up against walls.
Bronze is the sculptural medium with the fewest limitations.
I usually work directly in wax and then make a rubber mould from the wax original in order to produce wax copies for the edition of ten. A wax is needed for each bronze as the sculptures are cast by the lost wax process. Each copy is slightly different because I work over each one by hand and change a few details. I only make one bronze at a time. If I sell one, I cast one.
