If you're an artist, what kind of art do you make?: Sculpture

I am...: a person that has been interested in art since I was 4. I saw Jackson Polocks painting in Life magazine when I was 6. It was a life moment. I have interests in Art, History, Science and the world and our interaction with it.

About my artwork: My work is about the interaction of the human with its environment. This ranges from the space we directly occupy to what we think about to the space we are not in. I work with recycled and found objects to create works that utilize the past and rearrange it to give birth to new meaning.

Artists I like: David Smith, Pablo, Calder, Chamberlain, Arman, Stopa, and a hell of a lot more......I can't remember their names but I remember the work.

Interests: Art, comedy, folk art, natural forms, cooking, spices, transformations, rhythm, jazz, birds, fossils, dirt, and quite a few other things.

What exhibitions are good at the moment?: Hopper at the Art Institute.

Centre of the artworld:: New York, London, LA, Berlin, Beijing, my studio, online, nowhere and everywhere

At 3:31pm on May 10, 2008, mike Helbing said…: This is a sculpture about war. There is a randomness about death in a war. The title of this sculpture is "In The Jar Of Mars". In bars many times there is a jar of pickeled Bologna on the counter and you reach in and cut off a piece and eat it with crackers. I found this jar down south on a trip and put in small green plastic soldiers. More than once I was spared while others around me were wounded or died. It sometimes reminded me of the cave of the cyclops and his dinners. This feeling is what I put in the sculpture.
