In Formation It was always exciting for me when I was designing my pieces. I had a big drawer full of cut up foam pieces. They were all different. I never knew what I was going to make. Sometimes I would close my eyes and reach in and grab one and then another and try to see how I could glue them together into something interesting. Did you ever play on a Ouija board? It was really eerie for me, like I was working with a soul from the other side that gave me information that was really revealing. Well this is kind of in the same vein. I have to be in the mood to accept the energy that wants to help me and tell me when to stop. It is like a little adventure that I do not know where I am going. Kind of like driving somewhere without knowing where you are going and having a lot of time to see what is around the next bend or over the next hill. I always thought that would be a great adventure. Be in an unknown area, no maps, no main highways, just back roads. In my case I would want to have a box of 5x7 masonite boards to paint on when I see something interesting. Push that a little farther and make a rule that every hour you had to stop and paint a picture where ever you were when the alarm on your cell phone went off. I sort of did this once. The problem was I was not alone and the woman was not very receptive after the third stop. So much for traveling on adventures with someone else. Every thing is an accommodation to the other. The trick is to find someone that you fit with so you both like the same stuff. This design might work for a corporation that makes airplanes or and airport logo. Talk to me about enlargement rights for this maquette. If this sculpture interests you there is much more on this site. Go to the upper right top and enter "Arfsten sculpture" in the search box to see many styles and themes of my work.

I have an ambitious approach to life ... and to art ... make something happen every day ... but most of all have fun doing it! A sculptor first, and now working in 2D, I do my best to do just that. Presented here are examples of some of my work. •• My sculpture runs the gamut from abstract, to figurative, to architectural. The materials and methods used are diverse ... from figures modeled in clay or wax, then cast in pewter or bronze ... to aluminum maquettes (produced by evaporative pattern casting) which serve as the 3D blueprints for the pieces that are enlarged and fabricated from sheet metal of all kinds. •• My 2D pieces range from abstract to figurative. You’ll find Originals done in oils or acrylic, one-of-a-kind monotypes, collages, mixed media paintings, and more ... I love working in all mediums. Some of my 2D work may be available as reproductions on this site. ••• MY FASCINATION WITH SCIENCE FICTION & MAKE BELIEVE - When I was in second grade, television was new and the hottest thing. The "Adventures of Flash Gordon" was my favorite program. There was only one kid in the neighborhood who had a TV. We, all the kids, gathered at his house for every episode. I was a huge fan of the characters. Flash was cool and my hero. Dale Arden was OK but Princess Aura was way cooler because she was naughty. Ming The Mercilous was very interesting. But Dr. Zarkov and his super duper telescope - that could see into time forwards and backwards, far and near - was the star of the show for me. The spaceship was really hoakey. You could see the wire that it was traveling on and the little puffs of smoke coming out of it were a joke, even for me. But the concept of the show was magical. Also at that time there were radio shows about space travel and aliens and monsters. I would listen to those shows with my grandfather as I sat on the floor next to the big wooden box radio so I could get the full impact of the sounds. •• These shows inspired me to draw spaceships, mostly "new and improved" versions of Flash's ship. I taped them all over my bedroom walls. At night I would travel with Flash. We would go to distant parts of the Universe and explore ancient ruins - like what I saw in National Geographic when I was not looking at the bare-breasted girls of exotic cultures. (I think artists and sculptors, are to a large part, voyeurs.) Those memories pop up in my art over and over. •• Faces also intrigue and inspire me.
