Kiln cast glass fixtures emulate Mayan jade ear flares, with a decidedly Art Deco flavor. 

This is July 14, 2011. This is a typical day for us in Coupland, Texas. 

The Umasi Collection is specifically designed to blur the line between furniture and sculpture - with perfect panels that collide into organic elements. 

Because Umasi is largely built of salvaged materials, it clearly comments on the nature of our consumer society. But it's also a ready platform for other forms of social commentary, with references to art history, contemporary culture, and even the politics of war.

We hope you enjoy Umasi. 

This is a wall-mounted sculpture to suggest waves crashing on the shore. The steel is forged and twisted, and the colored glass bubbles are posted off the wall to allow the light to pass through the bubbles and create colored shadows on the wall. 

These two ceramic sulptures stand between 5 and 6 feet tall. They will be installed at my home to be a part of the water catchment system.

Objects are carved and shaped daily in the shop

as commissions, fabrications, models, and sculptures.

 Usually a very detailed drawing is required to begin... 

or perhaps ... just the memory of a dream.
