Objects, even the most mundane such as refuse and debris underfoot, contain power. Specifically, the power of their own history and associations. Coupled with this is the capacity to conjure memories from within the observer. this is the power I am accessing in order to bring to mind the concept, memory, and emotions attached to standing on holy ground.
37" x 12" x 8" mixed media - 2017
It is common practice to place a bar on the handle of a wrench to give more leverage in loosening a tough bolt. That bar is known in common vernacular as a cheater bar. That is the plausible conclusion as to how this 18" cast pipe wrench got bent. In constructing this reliquary, I am isolating and giving special attention to this practice as a way of elevating the common man/woman.

would like to do more works that are reliquaries containing fragments
of places that inform or are even integral to our American identity. A
piece of Plymouth Rock, The Redwood Forest, fragments of Ellis Island,
and the like.

Reliquary for the Book of Job
12" x 12" x 18" guilt aluminum with mixed media - 2008
From 2004-05 I was a sculptor for PaleoForms, Provo, UT. My job was sculpting, molding, casting and mounting of full-scale freestanding dinosaurs, Majungatholus and Masiakasaurus, for international museum display. When dinosaurs are found rarely is the full skeleton present, it is the job of a sculptor in consultation with paleontologists to fill in the blanks. The bone above is an arm bone (humerus) from Majungatholus that I sculpted and measures 5" x 3" x 13". I began by referencing what material we had, in this case one half of the opposite side and drawing from dino cousins. I then carved the form in dense foam. Once that stage was complete I skinned the carved bone in auto body bondo adding texture. A two part silicone rubber mold is constructed and a cast made for pour-a-cast. The final step would be to the coloring of the cast with paint and then drilling to add hardware for mounting. I was very satisfied when the paleontologist thought this bone was cast form the original - not sculpted.

The Inspiration of Mrs Kling (1884)
12"x 12"x 6" Mixed Media - 2003
This
was created just as I was thinking more on reliquaries. I was also
experimenting with using my own fragmented memories from childhood as
the subject of my work. I was inspired by a visiting artist's words. "Memory is a creative process as much as it is a re-creative or objective one, and I found that in digging up my memories, in unearthing them, they were invariable altered, subjected to weathering like recently excavated archaeological sites.”
