Artist Statement The architectural genius of the early Southwestern Native American who lacking cutting tools, fasteners and scaffolding inspires my art. Striving to produce table top dimensional replicas of some of the unique architecture of the Southwest I use techniques and materials developed over time and through trial and patience. Focusing on the period when the ruins were first discovered by early settlers moving to the West or cattlemen rounding up stray cattle the ruins are often presented in disrepair caused by neglect and weather since their abandonment over 800 years ago.
