I make artifacts.
Artifact, derived from the Greek words for skill and making or forming, neatly conveys the intention to join meaning and form synergistically, either for personal pleasure or for the edification of a larger community. The very format of the word, artifact, is tremendously suggestive: art is linked to fact by an i. The i represents the creative consciousness.
My i is no longer young. This little it has concluded:
The artifacts on this site record what my i has observed. I received them as gifts and offer them in the same spirit.
No one has played a more important role in my quest to see than the artist, William Girard, my teacher, mentor and friend. His life and work are a constant joy and source of inspiration.
