In his own words:
When I work in papiér maché I treat it like clay. The armatures for the sculpture begin with paper and tape. The "rule" for papiér maché is that only one layer at a time should be applied, but I like to use several layers of thick papiér maché that make the material easier to mold with my hands. Sometimes certain parts of the piece have to be reworked either by sanding or trimming the papiér maché with a knife.

The dinosaurs with protruding horns and body armour intrigue me the most because they give me the greatest opportunity to experiment with texture and color. My influences often come from black and white films of monsters and dinosaurs. These old cinematic images are less than "accurate," but they are dramatic and expressive. The details are left to be filled in by my imagination, combined with the imagination of the viewer.

For my next several projects, I am planning to combine dinosaurs and insects into unique life forms. I want the appearance of these creatures to express a sense of humor.
