Contemporary Sculpture

    Coal Creek Homestead was an unexpected commission I just sort of lucked into. It is a very good example of my approach to assemblage art. On Facebook I follow a group of assemblage artists, those who take found objects and society’s castoffs to create really unique art, often from an interesting point of view. I am different in that I make the various elements, and then assemble them. It might take several weeks to create the various parts, then in one afternoon it is all assembled.

Harmony Discord is another good example of assemblage from created parts and found objects. This sculpture stands nearly 6’tall. The male side is represented by a steel male figure opposite a steel auger, which is phallic in several different ways. The female is made of translucent acrylic sheet. Next to the figure is a three-dimensional house which projects considerably from the wire mesh background. On the back wall of the house is a honorarium to Peit Mondrian. This sculpture has only been exhibited once. It will be part of the October 2023 exhibition in Maryland.
