I would describe my sculpture works as a works in. progress, however; that does not mean the sculptures are incomplete, rather they are permutations each new work a result of the previous work. My practice is this medium share some of the same approaches that I use when I paint and draw. The work must have an immediacy, with the ability to change with little or no preparation, then change again if necessary. I like to refer to this process as being malleable because one of my earliest experiences in sculpture was welding scrap metal and that approach has stuck with with me as well as seeing Melvin Edwards lynch fragments, which I interpreted as using what was available, but there were common elements, such as chains in those fragments, for me it has been scrap wood and construction lumber that one can easily find on most urban streets. That construction lumber, cast off personal items and other found materials suggest a kind of urban history indicative of city life, it’s struggles and survival.. The grid is also important in that it definds neighborhoods, in terms of police precincts, schools districts, housing urban development or lack there of. Nothing though is a direct reference, but suggest histories, and culture through it’s absractions as well as it’s abstracted representations.
