sculptures
When I was a little kid I had a set of blocks–all perfect rectangular parallelepipeds, the 3D equivalent of rectangles. They were all the same color. There were about a hundred blocks in about eight different shapes. There were no projections, decorations, or designs on them. They were pure geometry. I loved them.
What I liked about my plain featureless blocks was the infinite potential. I sensed some ultimate design hidden in these shapes in the same way that Michelangelo believed that every block of marble had a statue inside of it. I spent a lot of my childhood trying to find that ultimate design. I am still trying to find it.
The floor of my studio apartment is covered by vinyl floor tiles exactly one foot square. I frequently lay pieces of my work on wax paper on the floor to glue together. Since much of my work consists of rectangular parallelepipeds, I need joints that are perfect right angles. The square floor tiles help, although you might not know it looking at some of my pieces.

Lately I have switched to painting on canvas–mainly because I ran out of room in my small apartment to store my sculptures. I had to give up one whole closet to store them as you can see in this video.
