What’s Lurking

2009 Cast Bronze with Patina, Cast Iron

As I was exploring wax working, form and structure I was experimenting with what kinds of natural abstract shapes I could get from the lost wax casting process. I was simultaneously spending a lot of time watching nature documentaries. My favorite documentaries were about the strange creatures and habitats in the corners of our unexplored ocean depths. Putting these concepts together I emerged with these creatures that come from a world unknown, yet with a sense of the tactile we can relate to.
