I take great pride in re-purposing discarded metal parts, wire, etc. to make sculptures.
One of the greatest compliments I have ever received about my art was from an indigent man downtown who "nailed" this. Observing me fashioning a triceratops made from aluminum kitchen and gutter parts, the man waved and approached me. He said- " Tell me if I've got this right- you can make something out of anything". I responded, "Exactly" and he ran away smiling. This piece is also illustrative of the process in which I fit parts into a form in some of my sculptures. Below is the Triceratops (commissioned by a barista) at about the stage when the man mentioned saw it.
