Yek Sketch

Some pieces have guidelines, sketches, like a template of form which, with my forging technique I extrude dimensions using steel and manipulate this steel to create sculpture. I sometimes further this process by casting my original steel forms in Bronze.
Other pieces just begin and grow and evolve from this ‘naked space’ either because I need to start a new piece and to see what happens or from other pieces I chose to take into another direction.
