Turning Point
MIXED MEDIA Powder coated Aluminum and Brass
40 x 40 x 44 in

 
 
Contemporary

A journey has milestones along the way; the journey of life has turning points. You might think of turning points as those ahaha revelations that cause you to take a step back and re-evaluate where you are going and how your going to get there. The somewhat vague pathway you were traveling is now in clear focus and your destination is within your reach!


When I am most successful my sculptures have the look and feel of floating forms, virtual weightlessness. Perhaps this is why I gravitate to aluminum as my preferred material, and why from childhood on, I have been especially fond of the works of Miro and Calder. I want my creations to be unique original artistic expressions that are both easy to live with as well as environmentally friendly to our planet. Aluminum fills this need, and when they are powder coated they take on a modern smooth finish, that is more durable than liquid paint and environmentally green, no solvents (VOCs). I am not as much a perfectionist as I am an abstractionist. I understand the importance of finishing touches and small details, but these come secondary to the feeling, the work of art conveys to the viewer. I want it to be more than what meets the eye at first glance. I believe in love at first sight, but it takes more than a pretty sculpture for me to feel truly successful.
