My ‘etchings’

Before I became aware that concrete would become inseparable from the thread of my life, I was a painter and a sculptor.  I have always been interested in the point where recognition begins to require abstraction to form context… But enough about me!  Here are some pictures of some of my work:

Torah by Kamil Peters

Recently I had the opportunity to help Kamil Peters fabricate his Torah sculpture which is now in the collection of Harold Grinspoon, founder of Harold Grinspoon Foundation.  The sculpture stands over 17′ tall, and is composed of steel (mostly) and a little bit of concrete.

Steel and concrete and thousands of years of the word.
