One the unique aspects of my work is the combination of traditional metal patinas with liquid metal coatings (primarily copper) and iron particles forming what I call “rust patinas.” My goal is to create large wall pieces that have aesthetic components that are both contemporary and abstract. To that end, I have started working exclusively on canvas (traditional stretched or tarpaper on wood). The pieces below all represent various iterations of composition, texture, materials, color combinations and other variables. I started small, iterate my inspirations, learn from my mistakes and then ‘go large.’
The larger pieces can be viewed in context here.
