ABOUT THE ARTIST

Born in New Jersey, the artist has resided in New Orleans since attending Tulane University, where he received a M. Arch in Architecture. He has practiced architecture in New Orleans since graduation and has been creating furniture and works of art in various media since the late 1980’s. He began working with the box assemblages in the 1990’s unifying a range of materials and skills from model making, wood working, sculpting and casting, combining a vocabulary of images and concepts with literary elements.

His work was selected and shown in the CAC group shows, Entergy Louisiana Open 1995, “Art by Architects” in 1997 and invited to display in “Ghost of Cornell” in 1998. He has recently returned to the production of work in the box medium.  His influences range from ancient and medieval art and architecture, Hieronymus Bosch, the Pre-Raphaelite brotherhood, the surrealism of Rene Magritte and Joseph Cornell, to the metaphysical poetry of Marvell and Donne, and architectural theory of Aldo Rossi and John Hejduk.
