David Smalley and I presented a joint show, Interpreting Wind, at The Artist's Cooperative Gallery, Westerly, RI, August 2010.
Standing Waves by David Smalley
"This sculpture is process-driven. A new tool or technique can open up new possibilities and force new design solutions. The limitations of spot welding are that the two pieces to be joined have to overlap and the metal has to be relatively thin. It's an industrial process which leaves its mark on what I make. Not often used to make sculpture. Airplanes come to mind. And wind, and sails, with curves." David Smalley
