It was 1993 when I picked up a TIG torch, struck an arc, and produced my first weld puddle (oddly enough it was titanium). Since then I have been on a relentless mission to transmogrify and personify spark plugs, circuit breaker boxes, reamer blades, irons, bolt-cutters, and typewriters. I love to help the little creatures I inherently see in objects to come out into the world. Stainless steel bicycle spokes melt into skulls one drop at a time. Saw blades are reinvented into angelic wings, tin cans devolve into rose pedals, and a broken clarinet gets a second exciting life as a pirate blunderbuss. Welding art can be so much fun that at times it’s practically intoxicating to me. No outdated or discarded mechanical devices within in my grasp are safe from joining the parade of fantastic creatures, mighty rayguns, and emotional robots, some of which tip the scales at over 300 pounds. And when I am lucky enough to glimpse a smile from someone who first sees one of my pieces, it reminds me of the smile I had when I completed the piece. I feel a real connection through my art; like I’m connected to humanity.
