ENTRY HALL BENCH This site-specific Entry Hall Bench combines a slab of high-character, live-edged wood with sleek, minimalist steel bases creating a piece of functional art. The bench in these images was designed, sized and built for the Entry-way of an apartment in Manhattan. The choice of wood and the finish on the steel both reflect the mood and color tones of the space. The wood here is a three inch thick piece of Argentinian Walnut, the finish on the steel is Aged Copper We will together design and build your Entry-way bench to customize dimensions, choice of wood and, and finishes for both the wood and the steel bases. Depending on your space (and aesthetic preference) we could use a live or natural-edged wood top. To add architectural interest the bases can be arranged asymmetrically or to sit parallel with the lines of the bench As illustration the dimensions for the bench shown here are: Length 36"; Depth 15" ; Height 16"

I am a sculptor working in metal and glass. Sometimes singly, sometimes together. I find the simple expression of material to be visually pleasing, and often the stuff I have on hand will nudge my creative process. If the resulting piece awakens my visual sense with wonder, that counts as art for me.

I’ve arrived at sculpting after a heady and enjoyable journey through corporate life. I worked my whole career, twenty-seven years, at JPMorgan and all of that on its trading floors. So making art - and the solitude that accompanies it - are a striking counterpoint to the addictive buzz of life in the markets.

The short story reads like this: as an avid gardener I developed an interest to make large-scale metal art to add to the whimsy in my yard. My son, who was (and is) restoring a classic Alfa Romeo taught me how to weld; I followed this with a semester at the Silvermine School of Art. Many moons, more tools, much practise, the steady acquisition of technique (mostly from other artists and artisans) and I had learned much of what goes into my art now.

I like to use recycled steel whenever possible and I scavenge actively to collect old metal - there’s little more satisfying than cutting up and creating art from, say, an old corn planter.
Patina, texture and light fascinate me and play engaging roles in my sculptures.

My wife (an art photographer among her other talents) and I collect the works of (mainly) American craftspeople - glass makers, ceramicists, wood-workers, textile artists, sculptors - and seek out contemporary art, often at Sculpture parks. So making art is its own reward. Sharing it is even better.
