It's amazing to think back and remember that the West was once a land with no fences and larger then life animals roaming free. The bison have always held their place as a symbolic icon of the West. In Texas they are long horns, which I was very tempted to make, but again I wanted to keep my art close to home. Here I brought to life the bison. Every vain holds the barbwire that separated the land.
Art is a process of defining creative possibilities. My art is born from the homestead lifestyle of the Colorado Rockies, combined with the historical perspectives of the ranching style. Using materials that are from and found on the ranch, I create larger then life chicken wire sculptures.
