On his website, Bob says, “I have always been intuitive, reactive, and spontaneous. I love improvisation, expression, and the power of chance and serendipity. In my creative process, there is always a time of free improvisation using easily manipulated materials on a small scale. The materials may have qualities of a found object, chance forms that must be reacted to, much as a jazz musician riffs off a casual theme. The resulting models are very crude, casual, and many. A chosen few undergo editing, refinement and transformation as they are built into full size sculptures.”
