| I have worked with steel for about fifteen years. I have just begun to make art from it. I like to put things together, fixing them. I like finding pieces of steel and letting them fit themselves into what they should be, what they want to be. I'd like think that others will see how they wanted to be, what I helped to bring through, from the far side of reality where anything is possible.
As long as I can remember I have loved art, renaissance art was especially fascinating to me. I regret not knowing more about the great masters of this period, but I do love the emotion that they seemed to capture in paint and stone. Terror, lust and motherly warmth seemed to be common in the timeless beauty of their art works. Best in my mind are shown in the women of Greek and Roman mythology.

Passion
In all that is... there is only one answer to the riddle of the meaning of life. The pursuit of happiness in all it's profound truth... | | The Cinderella Story
The Cinderella story is where the optimum perfection is realized in any and every woman's mind.

Oh yeah...So in the years spanning from fantasy to reality we men have had to endure the effects of a good story as the rule unto which we are all measured. | | For What It's Worth
As a very young boy, I can remember the exact instant, if not date and time that my mother told me I would someday die... Like every other child, I was stricken with grief as I pondered the hopelessness of it all. I, would someday be no more! I was in dispare for all of that afternoon, but as I soon realized that I wasn't going to die just yet, and at any rate there was much to be done. | | The Fish in the Bowl
A fish stuck in a bowl has little to do besides contemplate its reality. In the state of constant thinking this small, seemingly mindless Aqua Fauna has until the end of his short life to do nothing and thus has all the time in the world to travel within the reality that he himself dictates as such.
Not being subject to any outside influences, the fish in the bowl has nothing to limit what he thinks or to question his discoveries. | | War is Hell
When I was a boy my inconceivably Catholic mother used to tell me, "Offer your pain to God. Give Him your suffering as a gift of love and proof of your devotion. It seems funny to me now that I seem to equate love with suffering.
"War is hell!" Ulysses S. |
