Clocks are my specialty. I think of them as sculptures that happen to tell time. Doing a clock gives me an enormous freedom of form, and I love the way the moving part (all my clocks have pendulums) calls attention to the artpiece . The mechanisms used run with a AA battery which generally lasts one to two years.

In recent years, I've developed a technique for casting puzzles which turns these inexpensive, temporal items into long-lasting, virtually indestructible works of art. From the beginning I was fascinated with the concept of taking something that is traditionally flat and making it three dimensional, taking something inexpensive and making it something of value, and taking something that falls apart easily and turning it into something of permanence.
The use of playing cards and puzzles represent the transient, temporal nature of our existence while the use of child-like rendering and precious metals underscores a sense of vulnerability and fate—and how dear, however imperfect, our experiences are in this life.

Joni is a representational figurative sculptor. Her background in Radiology has given her knowledge of human anatomy; therefore most of her work is of the human form. She hopes to speak to the viewer’s heart and soul as her work is an extension of her soul and life experience. She has chosen to sculpt in stone because she enjoys the synergy of expression it conveys, has a deep respect for the history of the material and an appreciation for the aspects that it contributes to her work. She feels that the finished piece is the evidence of her interaction with the stone and thus a collaborative effort of expression

I have always been infatuated with the human face. I often think that I will someday run out of fascinating people to sculpt, but it hasn’t happened yet. We are all so diverse and intriguing, and we cannot resist the attraction of our own species, whether beautiful or grotesque. We strive to be unique and we strive to fit in…we are complicated.

Growing up I spent the majority of my free time outdoors, primarily in the mountains of Washington and Idaho. Consequently that is where I am most comfortable and draw my biggest inspiration.
I started drawing and carving wood as a child and in 1975 learned to weld as a means of paying the bills. In the early 1990’s all paths met, resulting in a new found passion for everything. Since that time I’ve been creating three dimensional sculptures in carbon and stainless steel, copper, brass and aluminum.
My work started mainly as animals, birds, and fish, but has grown from structural, functional, and decorative sculpture to human and mythological figures. Lately I’ve been working on pieces that deal with the subject of social consciousness particularly of man and nature and the responsibilities we all share. My desire is that people who view my work will take away a greater feeling of connection with the natural world and a sense of hope for the future

Art is the substance of my life. I’ve always had a natural attraction to and been inspired by Nature's palette. As I have traveled through life it has led me to the art world. I compose and create with lines from Nature and use the combination of its sensual lines and curves for the visions of my sculptures. Sustainability is a passion of mine and so I work with sustainable materials – we need people to work harmonically with nature so that we don't overwhelm its balance with our actions.

I cut, bend, hammer and assemble steel into abstracted representative forms. I enjoy composing in three-dimensions; working to move the viewer around and within the shapes of my compositions. I hope that their pleasure in viewing the positive and negative spaces will be the first step in thinking and talking about my work.

 The sculptures created by David Rosenzweig evoke a theme that celebrates life, making his figures an exciting addition to any private or public collection. "My goal in sculpture is to communicate a spirit that embodies freedom, beauty and grace. In the series of dancers I hope to capture the viewer's attention through my use of gesture, simplicity and flowing composition. Each sculpture has a personality, a unique story to tell through its fluid and dynamic pose."
