Most of my sculptures have overtones of ancient civilizations.  There is a strong nostalgia for the past, with evocations of forgotten kingdoms and glories. 

There is also a sense of destruction with the torn, pit-marked surfaces, the seemingly missing entablature, the deep indentations and channels caused as if by some forceful projectiles.

My symbolism deals with the primordial objects of life: the sun, the column, the arch - created from the oldest sculpture materials: metal, granite, and glass.

They are personal statements of my faith in a man's profound determination to survive.
