My Creative Process:
Without conscious thought, I gather from literature, music, conversations, and art (both mine and others). I start my art hoping for a random bag full of these references to spill out in a stream of consciousness onto my sketchbooks and eventually onto my workbench. The final sculpture is a happening; a composition using all or most of the objects that evolved from the confusion and mixed metaphors that they were born with. Toward the end, I'm never quite sure if they are constructed or deconstructed.
