Creating Industrial Repurposed Furniture & Decor. I also do Design Consulting for Bars, Clubs, ect. wishing to have a more vintage appeal. My current works are assemblages, industrial artifacts, equipment, and hardware I use to create 3D mixed-media works. They celebrate America's fading industrial greatness. They are one-of-a-kind pieces of art and are not mass-produced. The central components used are wooden foundry patterns, hand-carved & machined in the historic Cambria Iron Works where, according to historian/author David McCollough, the age of American steel began. I have embellished them but maintained their original integrity so the artifact remains intact while rendering HISTORICAL FUNCTIONAL ARTWORKS WITH PROVENANCE. My research into Cambria Iron Works/Bethlehem Steel, Johnstown, PA, uncovered drawings, photos, and most importantly, the logbook, which documents the origins, age, and use of each pattern. Each wood pattern got a "birth certificate" when it was carved. And the log was still intact after 100 years.
