Sculpture
Since 1978, I have lived on a farm in Southeastern Pennsylvania (the house dates from 1820). I have found abandoned metal wagon wheels, harnesses, tools, plow parts, stone sleds and other farm ephemera. I saw I could repurpose these shards into iron sculptures, and with the help of local welders, I have done so. Some of them made their way into shows concerning a lost civilization called the Ambigucene.
