My work with metal is on a commissioned basis. These are examples of a commission using years of collected trivets, irons, tools, locks and shoe lasts as a memorial to the collector for his wife and children. While I develop smaller projects, it's the personal expression of a commissioned work that inspires me to create. It was uncovering the contents of a large storage container that allowed the creation of the assembled pieces into works of art that the patron enjoys to this day. Let me know your thoughts, ideas and interested themes.
