SCULPTURES

While I have collected antique objects and gadgets for years, moving to Vienna and traveling through Europe enticed me with the many hand-crafted antique tools and interesting artifacts. Almost calling this body of work ‘NASCH-ART” (Wiener Naschmarkt Art), I spent many Saturday’s wandering the isles of the second hand market in search of objects of inspiration. Like the Amalgamations, the sculptures are combinations of carvings, clay sculptures, found or purchased objects unified with a three-dimensional support of wood, clay, plastic, stone or something worthy of supporting. They reflect events, dilemmas, concerns that deserve attention, conversation, collaborative problem solving or just celebration.
