Opening at Court House for, "Galileo's Library"

 

My process involves study in art, science, and to some degree psychology in order to find a symbology that resonates with a feeling of self in relation to the universe. When I find those symbols like the window, I try to express an uplifting concept that inspires.

Humanity, I believe, is still in the process of development or creation. We are still children of the universe, and have perhaps millions of years yet to reach our zenith. On this road of life, I hope to provide some signpost that can remind travelers of our hopes for the future. Certainly, there is a place in the art world for all kinds of art. But there is already so much negativity in the world, why dwell in the darkness? I choose to remain in the light, and sculpt about the beauty of humanity in love with the universe.

I believe that humanity is a very very rare and young flower in the vast emptiness of space. Certainly it must be one of the most beautiful flowers. Presently, I am producing a series of diffraction grating sculpture/paintings with an astronomy theme.

All sizes are available. If you have a specific subject in mind, I am open for commissions. My phone is: 1-505-897-1538. I’m located in Albuquerque, New Mexico. You can also reach me by email here.
