Creations from man made objects discarded as refuse and reinterpreted to form objects found in nature are the inspirations for my art. The simple spoon forms the body of a rainbow trout; a discarded children's toy becomes the foundation for a moose; oil cans transform into armadillos. Building on that the reclaimed objects are then transformed from their mechanized human intentions into organic figures found in nature.

Check out this Score!
Yes - stuff like this really gets the wheels turning in my head. Last year at the PA Guild's Lancaster show I had the honor of meeting Tom and Joan they were from far Eastern PA (as I know know). Noticing the Crow I had on display she mentioned she had a "few" old typewriters from her family in the basement and if interested I was welcome to them. Of Coarse I am I replied as they are not so easy to come by - so FINALLY after all this time (my fault) I made it out to pick these up and I am Ecstatic - they are great and I can not wait to get them ripped apart and start creating. Best part is that for Thanks/Payment for the machines we worked out a barter agreement and she will soon be a proud new owner of an original piece created from the typewriters and themed around her interests and the past family members who once used these machines. I think she said it best and that was that it is a "win-win for all!" and I have to agree.
