What a wonderful feeling to have a fish on the line. I like the way the fish moves in the wind. It is putting up a good fight.

I love to dance. I also enjoy the challenge of trying to capture the sense of motion and movement in a static sculpture. The Jitterbug Dancers plays with the balance and relationship between the male and the female. As one of my pieces dealing with family life, it is about courting and finding a mate.

Some dogs are natural politicians. This Dog is one. Being very friendly he loves to shake paws or paw/hands. Especially with kids. Dogs are a part of life so I guess it is natural that I would make dogs. I first made my Dog series as small sculptures as presents for my grand children while I was at my Foundry in Thailand in 2010. It is a long story that involves a giraffe, two rattle snakes, two swans, as well as a pack of Dogs doing fun things.

Dogs, like kids, are part of the Family. They like to play and have fun. It al-most seems like we have genetically programmed to enjoy watching both kids and Dogs.

Dogs are a part of life so I guess it is natural that I would make dogs. I first made my Dog series as small sculptures as presents for my grandchildren while I was at my Foundry in Thailand in 2010. It is a long story that involves a giraffe, two rattlesnakes, two swans, as well as a pack of Dogs doing fun things. I made the large sized Reading Dog in 2012. It was cast in bronze in 2013. One of these Reading Dogs was installed this Spring at the Public Library in Chester-town, Maryland. Another is at the Peabody Institute Library in Danvers, Massachusetts.

One of the strongest and most special bond is that between the Mother and her Child.

There is something special about coming together to read a good book. It is one of the shared experiences that bind people together. It is one of the joys of family life.

I have been playing with this image for 30 years now. I made the first Swinging Jenny in 1991 out of chenille sticks and gave it to my daughter Jenny in memory of the fun we had playing together. Even though I call the sculpture Swinging Jenny it is not a portrait of me swinging Jenny. Because it is abstract when people look at the sculpture they see a child being swung and almost invariably put themselves into the action. They remember being swung by their parents or grandparents or else swinging their child or grandchild.I was trying to capture the feeling that is universal to any adult swinging a child: the shared excitement, the child’s sense of being out of control and the trust between the two.

Speedo is fun, exuberant piece about the feelings of speed, excitement, freedom and flying through the air that a young girl is feeling as she rides her bike. Ironically it was inspired by an accident. “Swinging Jenny”’s twin sister Chris loved riding her bike but had a malfunction while riding down the long hill to school and ended up flying over her handlebars and landing face first in the road. She came home carrying the broken ends of her two new adult front teeth in her hand. That’s how Chris got the nickname “Speedo”. She didn’t let that slow her down. Even as an adult he still is hard to keep up with on her mountain bike or on her skis.

What a wonderful feeling to have a fish on the line. I like the way the fish moves in the wind. It is putting up a good fight. I like the abstraction of this piece. It is like the wire models I make when I am playing with an idea. It is the minimal amount that is enough to give the viewer the feeling of fishing and having a big one one the line. A little over a hundred years ago this could not have been considered “Art” because it is made out of steel.
