The Faces series evolved out of collecting discarded metal pieces I found around the city and on farms. While exploring still life compositions with the metal, a face appeared and I began to record my arrangements. It felt as though there was a redemption of this detritus taking place. The texture and beauty of the decay, the passing of something as solid and permanent as metal, was being celebrated.

"The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct acting from inner necessity. The creative mind plays with the objects it loves" - Carl Jung
