Metal Arts Education Coordinator

Metal casting appeals to me because of the permanence of the modern artifacts I create and the excitement of the casting process. With dedication to craftsmanship, I intend to continue experimenting with new techniques learned from each casting.

Artifact: an object produced by human workmanship—a tool, weapon, or ornament of archaeological or historical interest.

Production Manager

 

Throughout my career industrial the forms of the landscape have intrigued me. Growing up in southernmost part of Louisiana, I was exposed to mammoth oil platforms, commercial fishing, industrial fabrication facilities, and the people who work there. In the conception of my art, I draw fro these images. As an adult, I realize that there has always been an underlying intimacy between human beings and their machines. Machines, like humans, consume, produce, and waste energy. I try to draw parallels between the two.
