John is a master magician of materials and techniques. His work might be woven, wrapped, plaited, riveted, painted, rusted, twined, nailed, stitched or tied. The materials used could be nails, buttons, washers, corks, plastic flowers, painted aluminum, copper, cornhusks, bed springs and even plastic curlers. Each work of art is a meticulously crafted, energetic and complex structure. He moves gracefully from constructing wall pieces to baskets, breathing new life into discarded objects.
