Cubic With Concrete
The sculputre encompasses spaces without encapsulating it. The dull grey galvanized finish on the steel mimics in metal the dull grey finish of the cement. The traveling metal moves around the central column in a self-referential path, the concrete base rooting it with firm weight. -Galvanized steel, concrete YouTube video |

From Fire and Forest
Born from the destruction of a car on fire; the aluminum engine block melting onto gravel. The pieces waited seven years to be combined with walnut planks and light. The metal pieces were formed by the circumstantial troughs and divots of the gravel onto which the aluminum fell, their shapes determined without plan. The walnut was sawn and planed into tongue-and-groove rectangles - a wholly unnatural arrangement for wood. The artificial and natural combine in "From Fire and Forest" and together they glow. -Aluminum, wood, LEDs YouTube Video |

Fly, Crow
The Sculpture is now all that remains of a riveted tank built in the late 1940's. The natural form of a crow is juxtaposed against the stark industrial iron from which it is formed, clad in the scorched remains of the tank's original finish. A grey, galvanized post holds the crow above heat treated oak, both the base and the post retreating into the background, leaving the crow unchallenged in prominence. -Riveted scrap steel, galvanized steel, oak YouTube Video |

Ascension
From a base of hardened steel, chrome arms rise, fanning out to occupy their surroundings, standing resolute with each other. "Ascension" embodies both the immutable and the mobile; movement captured in steel. Finished in reflective chrome and matte black, textured nitrocarburizing, it demands space and attention. - Steel, chrome plating, nitrocarburizing YouTube Video |

Iron Fire
Unprotected rebar rusts in the air over a hearth of white concrete and perforated stainless steel. The coiled metal will be consumed, curling around itself, rising as the tendrils of a flame from the white concrete chevron. The iron fire will burn for centuries. - Steel, stainless steel, concrete YouTube Video |

Plauge Bells
Replicated from the 17th century plague bell in the Museum of London, rung by the collectors of the dead on thier rounds. This pair of bells ring with a piercing clank, the sound sorrowful and fleeting. "Bring out your dead!" The sound of these plauge bells was used in the song "Plauge Bell" the first track on the album "Mortal" by Morganthus YouTube Video |
