My passion has always
been wire. To me, wire
is form incarnate. Starting
with wire as thin as
sewing thread and what
I often hear are the
patience of Job, because
it can take up to a week
to complete a project,
I create 1-12-inch-high
miniature works of art.
I use individual and
sometimes, combined
lines of wire to give my
work depth and weight.
While creating,
I feel as if I'm
drawing in mid-air.
As if my hands
were the
assembly line
at a factory,
I patiently
work and
develop the wire into not
so much art, but the
subject matter, itself.
Using my self-taught technique, I can create a simple monkey hanging in a tree to the most elaborate of cityscapes. Folks often wonder how I know when I'm done. Well, I am the first to view all my new works. So, when I can no longer recognize my medium as wire, I know the project is complete.
