Conduct a call/email correspondence / or conference call to fact-find and determine the partnership's objectives.
Below are examples of questions that could be explored during the consultation process to determine if this partnership can be achieved and is a win-win for both parties.
Brainstorm / Determine approach/theme
Special Requests
Materials
Size
Placement and Final Destination of Sculpture.
What story are you looking to tell with this sculpture or approach
How will you be using the sculpture (examples: contest, giveaway, display, reward, commemorate an achievement, etc.)
Timeline
What important dates should I know about?
When does the sculpture need to arrive by
Budget and Payment
What is your budget for the piece?
I do require 50% down for commission work before starting.
Shipping and Delivery
Do you have a preferred shipper?
Are there any special delivery requests?
Will the sculpture need to be shipped international
Will this delivery need to be a white glove experience, opening the crate, placing the sculpture, and removing crate materials?
Please note my work usually arrives in cases, but for larger pieces crating may be required.
Each piece I create is unique, a "one-of-a-kind" creation that stands on its own. While I can incorporate elements such as color schemes or details from my previous works, replication is not possible due to each piece's individuality and my approach.
This aspect of my work is important as it provides the creative space and freedom of the process and flow state I seek. During this process, my work also captures a snapshot of time and my headspace that uniquely impacts in subtle or dramatic ways the end results.
I’m also keen on craftsmanship and bespoke items, which align nicely with this approach to creating one-of-a-kind pieces of art.
My work is divided into two district approaches/series.
Both approaches are based on a foundation of upcycling or repurposing materials but prioritize certain features.
Luxury Series - In this series, I explore the intersection of fashion and pop culture, using upcycled luxury goods, leather, and hardware to achieve an elevated look, paying special attention to craftsmanship synonymous with luxury. This is all to express my love and admiration of these iconic pop-related artifacts and to bring attention to their contribution to our culture.
E-waste / Upcycling Series - In this series, I lean more heavily into upcycling with the materials or found objects to drive the approach. This produces a looser feel that allows for the sum of the materials to form a new object. As you draw closer to the sculpture, you pick up on the details and objects used taking you on another journey of discovery to identify the individual pieces that make up the sculpture.
