Wheelhouse series
The Wheelhouse series consists of rolling houses with personalities. They are depictions of shelter and mobility.
They are built for change and fueled by the discontent that comes with the territory of human experience-
the discontent that moves us to better times and better places.

Forged Bronze Boats
These pieces are heated and hammered from one flat bronze plate. Each end has a welded seam that is ground to an edge. The base is solid bronze with copper chain to "cradle" the boat flat or at an angle. There is a great tactile quality to these vessels, handling them off the base is another aspect of engagement.
