In an era dominated by surplus production and a consumer culture, the modern world generates endless waste. The trend is for recycling, and my expression is given shape through scrap metal.
Broken, rusty, twisted, worn-out debris comes from the worlds of agriculture, the automobile and industry. When taken out of context, welded into assemblies and diverted from its expressionless functionality, scrap becomes something useless but beautiful.
My work is oriented towards movement, harmonious forms and a series of curves. With a figurative style and widely differing sizes and subjects, each piece is highly original and one-of-a-kind.
