My Latest Art

It seems like every time I look out my windows and see the spruce trees and the winter sky I am inspired to make a new piece like the one below, called “Blue and Green Spruce”

I made the branch entirely out of steel, using my welder and 1/4 inch pencil rod, 1/8 inch rods and 18 gauge steel wire.Below, “Yellow Spirals”, with “Blue and Green Spruce” and “Riverbank in Yellow and Orange” in the background.

The Oxidation of Jubatus

This Sculpture was made in 2000 while I was living at the Cheetah Conservation Fund in Namibia, near the town of Otjiwarongo. To make this sculpture I used a spool 18 Gauge wire that I found on top of the chicken coop, and some 1/2 inch re-bar that I found lying around. I made this piece in 22 days, the only tools I had were a Vise, a pair of fencing pliers, and a hacksaw.

The spool of wire was quite rusted, and I was covered with rust (or oxidized steel), hence the title of this sculpture. The genus name of the Cheetah, Acinonyx, means “no-move-claw” in Greek, while the species name, jubatus, means “maned” in Latin, a reference to the mane found in cheetah cubs
