I consider myself a contemporary blacksmith using traditional and modern tools and techniques.
I work intuitively, allowing the work to progess and develop through out the forging and fabrication prosess.I recycle found and used materials for constructing these wall and floor sculptures.My choice of materials includes stainless, carbon, and mild steel,aluminum, bronze and copper.
Hand forging and power hammer techniques are utilized to achieve the various shape and textural qualities within the work. Surface coloring is attained through the forging process and various oxidizing heat treatments. Member: pipelineartproject.com
