For this piece I was trying to convey a connection between two individuals. It's challenging to approach a subject that has been done throughout the ages. For this couple, I was trying to capture the excitement of new love. Only young lovers hug this way. Old married couples don't jump on each other anymore.

This chilli pepper is an enlarged replica of a pepper I had drying up on my mantel for a few months. The challenge was to do an exact likeness of all the angles and indentions.

Believe it or not, this piece started out being a pair of chuck taylors. I'm not sure at what time in the creation process that the shoes turned into an elephant head, but they did and that's the beauty of it.

I had created this lighter in wax many months ago. It was just sitting around, collecting dust and being uninspired. Eventually I just broke it in half because I knew I was never going to cast it in bronze.
Once I did finally destroy it, this new idea came to me and I went for it. I wanted to capture that exact moment when all the action pent up in the lighter is being released in one huge explosion.

During the winter months I collected a large assortment of objects from the beach. A few days before I left, I realized that I had to use it or lose it because I have enough junk to move without
having to move trash I picked up on the beach. This piece just naturally fell together as I was mixing and matching the pieces. The hair and head fit perfectly together. So really I didn't do anything
'new' with these pieces of wood, they already knew what they wanted to be before I even got started.

This piece was refers to the game of 'rock, paper scissors.' I wanted to sculpt some hands that showed some expression. Everyone knows this game and can relate to it, either as the winner or the loser. I felt that this game doesn't get the respect it deserves anymore, so I wanted to make this piece.
