- Biographical Information
- First and foremost, I consider myself a straight forward narrative public art sculptor. Much of my inspiration comes from structural engineering, Shaker furniture, folk art, Jules Verne, Yankee tinkering, military hardware, architecture,and various visual utopias produced by naive artists. I have created science partnerships to realize kinetic sculptures and am interested in pursuing that further. I seek and enjoy input from historical reference, local idiosyncracies, materials, inventions, etc., anything that gives me clues as a designer to make the concept belong to the site. My work has a multi-level aesthetic, narrative, and concept that can be understood by the non-art trained person as well as the esoteric critic. I work in steel which is vandal and weather resistant and designed to be easily assembled on site. The steel is machined, hot-forged, and welded. It is then sandblasted, primed, and finish coated. I have worked many times with public art agencies, public space designers, landscape architects, transportation systems, and private industry. I work easily with groups, am very organized, and realize major projects within budget and on time. (Greenmayer, 1991)
