Sculptures
Weirdly, I was named one of the Top 25 MFA Sculptors in the Nation by Sculpture Magazine and the International Sculpture Center when I was a grad student. Yet, I abandoned sculpture much in the way I abandoned painting.
That’s not entirely accurate. I just made a conscious decision at that time to never feel tied down to a medium or style. Granted, it means I have no collectors and no recognizable artistic brand, but that never really mattered to me.
Still, here is some of the work I did when I was focused on sculpture. I often referred the “altarpieces” as “interactive portraits.” They revealed more about the subjects the more time you devoted to the piece.

On a side note, during my obsession with nuclear testing, and while one of those city-wide public art projects (where selected artists all creating something using the same form), I decided to put a computer in mine, and have a mushroom cloud coming out of the ram, with lenses that were timed to blinke and flash like an explosion, and illuminated lenses with images form the Nevada Test Site.
