I often wake in the middle of the night full of creative energy, and can’t wait to cut, bend and weld metal with a passion driven by the need to physically realize what I so clearly see in my mind. While the resulting maquette might weigh as little as 50 pounds and would be appreciated by many as a finished piece, it is but a fraction the size of what I envision as its final form. I am aware of the negative spaces only after construction of the piece, and consider them as serendipitous aftereffects. There is so much more to the piece than its structure. Much of the beauty is in the shadows cast and the changing organic negative spaces. Much of the appeal is in consideration of the structure itself; the mass, the weight, the innate strength, the balance. How were the parts cut and formed, transported and erected?
