Paperwork Reduction Act
The attorneys that commissioned this sculpture specialize in Tax Law, so it was only fitting that I make the piece out of the actual IRS Tax Forms these people work with. At tax time, when emotions are running high, and the tax forms get wadded up and thrown around the room, this installation is […] more…

On a recent trip to Barcelona, Spain I came back inspired by the iron gates, grilles, fences, doors and railings made by Catalan metal workers over the centuries.
