Paperweights

The other day while puttering around in the scrap pile,

feeling totally unambitious, 

I decided that I was thinking too hard and decided to grab a few some small pieces

and just get to work.

The results were paperweights.

They are made from bits and pieces that I would 

usually incorporate into larger pieces.

It was a pleasant diversion and helped to get me out of my funk.

If you are interested in purchasing one

they are available at An Octopus Garden

in Millville, NJ

or on my ETSY page.

 My favorite sculptures are those which would be called 'tabletop' sculptures. 

They range in size from 18 to 36 inches.

However, because I have limited space, I started 

creating smaller pieces. 

These pieces are easier to store and transport, 

and also are quite suitable for shipping,

as the freight costs are affordable.

It is for this reason that I opened an ETSY shop.

ETSY is an online medium for selling handmade goods 

and is especially suited for selling smaller works of art.

'UNTOOLED' A new look at our fathers'tools

Untooled is my newest series of sculpture.

This series looks back at the artistry inherent in vintage tools.

The tools that were used to build the Brooklyn Bridge, the model T, and the Eiffel Tower 

were designed with the same attention to beauty, functionality, and durability

as the structures they were designed to build.

Rather than creating artworks using tools as an element in a larger piece,

Untooled attempts to show the tools as works of art 

in and of themselves.

All of these tools were used by craftsmen in various disciplines

to build the America we know today.
