Fabrication
The whole adds up to more than the sum of its parts. I have worked for thirty years as a fabricator of countless objects. I owned a metal fabrication shop for ten years that specialized in high-end artwork, architecture, and industrial fabrication. I even had the honor of welding up a sun shield for Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer that is still floating in space. The work was of the highest quality with difficult finishes and deadlines. Each job was unique and required an inquisitive and exacting mind to achieve. I made metal objects for Philippe Starck, Barneys, Macy’s, Cooper Hewitt, Ars Fischer, Smithsonian, and many others. I’m accomplished in all areas of fabrication with a special enthusiasm for metal welding, bending, finishing, manual machining, and CNC. Running a job shop was the ultimate education not only in the specifics of metalworking but in how to meet the unknown with confidence and success. Every job was new with unique difficulties and specifics requiring research initiative and the ability to absorb new information and process quickly. I routinely solved extremely complex problems while the projects were in motion. I’m always striving to learn and have confidence I can make almost anything given the time and resources.
I designed and fabricated a inviable sphere made up of 215 monitors and 215 cameras.
I designed and built a roomed sized sculpture that simulated the throwing of beer bottle against a wall.
I designed and built room sized 3D printer that prints in salt.
The printer was installed in a salt storage facility in Toronto and printed for 24 hours.
