Artist's Statement

My mission as a sculptor is to create a visual record of modern culture by capturing contemporary everyday objects in stone. By replicating the model on a life-scale along with marking and symbol details, I attempt to freeze the object in time as an artistic form of artifact. I achieve this high degree of realism through the use of such materials as parts of the real object, custom-made stains, paints, plastics and gold leaf.

Reese's Peanut Butter Cup

While I am waiting for the stones to come form the west, and the casts to come back form the caster. I am going to finish a bag of Reese's Peanut Butter cups I started last summer when I was at Marble/Marble in Marble Co. It is out of oragange alabaster, to get the color of the oragne bag.
