1973. He currently lives and works in
Ingersoll, Ontario.
"The feeling of movement is very important in my sculpture. I try
to capture that single frame in a moment of life with every frame a
composition of captured motion and emotion. It is a search for the
gestures in our lives that express the condition of our daily states
of being. Statements of joy or sadness, of comedy and drama. I want
my work to cause a reaction in people, to touch them deeply and to
move them to laughter and reflection.
I store images taken with pen, pencil or with my minds eye.
Images stored away to percolate up through the layers of my mind and
imagination. Images of people living their lives. Stories lifted
from scenes in malls, on buses, street corners and line-ups.
My sculptures are a reflection of my own journey through life
bearing witness and testimony to an inner and outer world."
