Sculpture
While living in late 1970's Manhattan I spent a good part of a year working with Abstract Expressionist Seymour Lipton. At his upper West Side brownstone, six hours a day, four days a week, in the Monel Metal technique that he was so instrumental in developing, I worked fabricating his design, while he spoke, of his life, his work, concepts of design, art, and the general state of the world.
Sy was a teacher and I am grateful for the time I had with him. Among the many things I learned was to see in monumental scale. Having worked metal in jewelry and now monumental scale, during the early 1980's I took my stonework from jewelry/lapidary scale to monumental.
