What Calls You (2009)

Welcome to my website. It's a bit less sophisticated than my previous site, as I created it on the cheap, from a free Website Builder. But you will see that the contents of this site will be current and that the website will reflect my pace. All this means that there should be new work to look at at least once a week (as long as I can load it, that is).
I work out of an old Grange Hall in Vail, NJ, a community that no longer exists. The Grange was the community center for the farm families in the area. Vail was an important dairy center, with trainloads leaving the town daily. Vail had a school, a general store and a train station. The people who lived here could ride the train over to Stroudsburg, PA for an excursion into the "big city" for shopping and other necessities.
I incorporate disused, broken, and cast-off articles in my work, combining them with components I carve or weld or otherwise assemble. The idea of reuse is more from my upbringing rather than any political recycling statement. My parents, being children of the Great Depression, had an indelible impression placed on them from that time, which has since transferrred to me
