the Cooper Union School of Art and Architecture in New York City.
In the mid-seventies, he broke into the art scene as a new
image sculptor with a series of painted and constructed ladder and
seesaw sculpture. By 1979 he was producing a series of pilaster
and door sculptures, which combined sculpture and painting
signaling the post-modernist movement. Over the last two decades
he has continued with his interest in structure and painting using
architecture as a common theme.
During the mid-nineties he produced a series of works called
the Berlin windows, which is on permanent display.
In recent years, he has developed a series of paintings with
buildings and primary shelters as his subject matter, as well as
a series of painted and constructed sculptures called Walls, which
serve as a meditation on painting and sculpture.
