I am an escapist, both in my art and in my life. I think the term "escapist" has an undeserved negative connotation. I wake up to get to work on time, I get that work finished properly, and in a timely fashion, and I manage my time to pursue a health social life as well as any other person. But I know more, see more, and be more than I am or could ever be, based on the laws of this universe. Is that wrong? Isn't desire a fundamental human instinct? I don't crave power or money or any form of debauchery or debasement. I wish instead to explore every part of the world, to fly without the aid of machines like a bird does, or to be able to sculpt the clouds in the sky. That is what drives my art - a primal curiosity about the world and the innate fascination that the human mind has with it.
I work primarily in metal because I find merit in its nature - it is just as stubborn as I am, however, it lacks the ability to use tools to mold me to its will. Metal is lasting and durable, and, as a craftsman at heart, I wish to make something excellent that will last and be durable, as a testament to my life; as a sign that I existed and had an effect on something.
