How does this type of sculpture differ from your usual work?
These pieces are definitely a departure from my normal artwork. For years I had been sculpting in bronze, doing figurative, narrative types of work. The screw art was born mostly because I was burnt out on the narrative work, but also because I'm always searching for a "better" sculpture. It has been hard for me to stick to one style of work as I always tend to find something more interesting. In fact, before I got the exposure on the screw art, I had considered taking a break from that to pursue something else.

What do you hope others will get out of these pieces?
When other people look at this work, I hope they can see the amount of thought and work that went into each piece. I feel I have used everything I've learned over the past decade, including sculpture, painting, construction etc, to create something that I had never seen before.

What's next?
Right now I am in a studio transition, so I haven't had much time to work on the art side of things. However, I have some great plans for the future, which include plenty of screws and large scale sculptures (hopefully public art).

Wow!! Some people has amazing creative minds. I wish I wasnt so screwed up by day to day life to be able to apply all my time to art like this. Dont get me wrong, its not like I have a screw loose or anything. But threading through daily life…. Aah no one is interested in my screwy life. I tend to spiral. Back to the topic…. Man did this guy hit the nail on the head or what??

Kidding aside. Bloody amazing!!!
