My unique, one of a kind designs are organic and imitate nature. They come from somewhere within me. As I destruct the metal and then begin to reconstruct the metal by forming and other methods, the metal begins to act like clay becoming less resistant. I can manipulate the metal until the piece reaches its conclusion. I know when I am there. The pieces really start to talk to me.
