Iron Schism
One of three in a series of castings in different media. This version addresses the mechanics of both the personal and social lives, suggested in the steampunk bits and pieces that are inset into the waist of the figure, and where the figure’s gaze is set. The figure is captured in stride and references the movement inherent to life, while also giving pause to a moment of self-contemplation and awareness.

La Pietá à la Retool
This sculpture explores the intersection of biblical language, that of God’s chosen “instrument” in Acts 9:15–16. Jesus the Christ is shown as a reduction, a symbol in lieu of an icon, through the lens of the Retool sculpture series. This sculpture intends no disrespect but hopes instead to stir discussion concerning the most important series of events surrounding the person of Jesus Christ the messiah.

Madonna
The sculpture “Madonna” takes its name as a classical reference to the virgin Mary and the contemporary context of an idealized virtuous and beautiful woman. The glass for this sculpture was hand cut and shaped with very high heat in a kiln over a form that was made by taking a mold of my wife the day before she gave birth to our daughter. This work, like that of “Three Graces”, came from the life-cast mold of my wife’s physique. The stainless steel support for the glass is a plasma-cut silhouette of my daughter taken from an ultrasound during the pregnancy. This work was deeply personal and every bit as satisfying.

Three Graces
Life happens and God is good. I took a “life mold” of my wife the day before she gave birth to our daughter. She was very pregnant and a great sport. I laid cold plaster and gauze across her torso to capture her radiant beauty.

Bronze Schism
One of three in a series of castings in different media. This version addresses the passage of time as suggested in the growth rings of the cedar that is inset into the waist of the figure, and where the figure’s gaze is set. The figure is captured in stride and references the movement inherent to life, while also giving pause to a moment of self-contemplation and awareness.
