“The marks I inflict upon my work originate from fire. Scorched steel is manipulated at my will, from the blows delivered by my hammer. I passionately force it to speak for my thoughts, my fears, and my hopes. Learning different ways of constructing, assembling, and improving my craft, have all become driving forces in my life. Those who are aware of my work habits have labeled me a “Bricoleur”. This word is of French origin, literally meaning “handyman”; it describes the ability to construct things from a diverse range of available materials, and involves the process of building by trial and error.”
