This new piece is titled "Fault" and is currently in the CoArt Gallery in Denver's Santa Fe Art District. It is composed entirely of recycled metals and the torch-modified CD/DVD material I invented. Please forgive the poor photography; it looks very nice in person.

Metals used include old bullet casings and various can metals, all flattened and buffed or torched and embossed or simply left the way they were.
This new piece is entitled "Cadence" and is composed entirely of pieces of the torch-modified CD and DVD material. Poor photography does not give the true portrayal of how this piece looks in real life. It is currently in the CoArt Gallery in Denver's Santa Fe Art District.

This new piece is titled "Off Kilter". It uses all recycled materials, such as brass from old bullet casings, can metals of multiple types, foils from various sources and, of course, my unique CD and DVD gems. One new material incorporated is portions of the typical old style CD jewel cases. I was given about a thousand of these and didn't want to throw them away. So I began cutting parts out of them such as the nice micro-ribbed black edges and the flat black textured plastic behind where the CDs lie. These were used in this piece.
Please forgive the poor photography. This was snapped in the gallery because I had to get it up quickly and the lighting was not right for proper exposure.
