I am not one who believes in the need for specialization in one medium. Therefore, I am not a sculptor, painter, printmaker, blacksmith or draftsman singularly, I am a culmination of all of them. My passion is the creation and making of objects. I am not solely concerned with the conceptual burdens that are so important in today’s contemporary art circles. If art can only function to titillate cognitive reason and the rational conceptual demand for mental discourse, I am not an artist. However, if art is the evidence of faith and the creation of form, which evokes questions of the past; ponderances of the present, or transcendence from the current state of consciousness, then I must be striving to be an “Artist”. Yet, I would rather be viewed as just another maker of objects.
