I build carefully crafted art from the common debris of our city. Through wanton use of cardboard, wine corks, maps and old paper, sometimes copper and nice wood, hollow core doors and salvaged hardware, I strive to assemble sturdy, possibly graceful work, some functional some useless, some very participatory, and all heartfelt. In my studio and through my work I explore my history and relationship with place, both as a participant in this American Nation, as well as a complex organism in a biosphere known as the Bay Area of Planet Earth. I also continue to hone my technical skills, offer some fun, and make the best art I can manage. My studio is in the garage of my home in Bernal Heights
