Kyak

My piece Kyak was inspired by the many shapes and tools used by civilization to support our presence and existence on the planet. It is made from aircraft aluminum and copper. I received a BA degree from The Evergreen State College in 1973 and have had a studio in Olympia, WA since. The materials I use are often found or recycled metals i.e. copper, aluminum and steel. The application of specific chemical formulas and patinas create a variety of color and texture. Images, shapes and colors are often spontaneous events. –Artist statement
