I've been designing, engineering and fabricating large sculptures for artists for over ten years, in particular the last seven years I've been lead designer with a fantastic new-york based company called RVW Sculpture (http://www.rvwart.com) .

My own art used to begin and end on my laptop's LCD screen and it is only recently that I have been able to project some of it into the real world through new large scale print technique, CNC machining and rapid prototyping tools.

I spend most of my time thinking about spatial constructs and relationships between objects, in particular in the frame work of their individual dimensionality and scale with reference to the broader scales of a given piece. In practical terms this points towards questioning how the eye follows and assesses lines, planes, volumes and all the intermediary constructs. How does our eye react to multiplicity of scales within one construct? how does the eye deal with rupture, continuity and evolution of form (color?) and how does it assess different topologies and their interconnections?

Another question that often crops up is how large scale art can take on an architectural feel, and how suddenly the perception of the piece changes so radically once the scales are large or complex enough that the human scale is no longer the reference scale.

Of course all of this merely serves as a backdrop or framework for the instincts that drive all of this, but that's another story...

I hope you enjoy the pieces I put up on this website, if you can buy something! buy a poster or a print on canvas or do whatever you can do... every little bit adds up and allows us to continue explore and create things that, collectively, are part of what defines our time and our place.

Cheers and peace and health to everyone out there! thanks for reading and thanks for looking. Don't hesitate to get in touch with me, I love chatting about all of this stuff :)
