Masked Figures 1982-1991

Working on the streets of the South Bronx and Lower East Side in the early 1980s, I constructed life sized figures from street trash and placed them in highly charged installations. Many of them had brightly painted sheet metal or cardboard masks to cover their heads. This work was widely shown with the Salvatore Ala Gallery in New York and Milan through the 1980s. Installations on the street in NYC were done with the Public Art Fund, Inc.

Ghosts, 2001-2005

Carved from white marble, these  large scale shoes combine 18th and 19th century stylistic elements with contemporary fashions to provoke our assumptions about gender, and evoke an malleable, ethereal sense of the past. They were carved with a hollow, and were single. In all I carved about 24 of these shoes; most of them are now in private collections.

Newspaper Children 1982-1995



​Newspaper Children had is origin in my MFA thesis show at Mass Art in Boston in 1982.  Created as a series of installations that featured small 3 foot high figures made of loosely wrapped newspaper intently ‘playing’  on furniture, with chalklines and stones. The work was shown in venues in the USA (Bemis Foundation, Ala Gallery, NYC), England (Leeds City Gallery, Watermans Art Center, London), Scotland (Third Eye Center, Glasgow)and Hong Kong (CCDC).
