After working in clay, artificial stone and bronze, Randy began creating intriguing and magical sculptures in iron wire mesh, which cast fine drawing-like shadows, “shadow sculptures” on the wall. He works with models, which give his work an uncanny life-like quality. His inherent understanding of materials and his power of concentration have allowed him to develop his own intuitive techniques in creating these dynamic sculptures. Randy works wire mesh as a painter works a canvas with brushes: with his large powerful hands, he fashions each shadow sculpture, lovingly creating original, classical forms that are alive with motion and grace.
The shadows take on a life of their own and sometimes look uniquely different from the original image. By changing the position of the light source or by moving the sculpture slightly, an entire new work of art is brought to life.
Randy is mostly self-thought, with little formal art education. He is a full time sculptor living in the southwest.
