Originally exploring his ideas from a studio on Shelter Island New York, and then later in Brooklyn, he more recently has moved back to Vermont to live and create. For a good part of those nineteen years, Eric has been immersed in formulating and fabricating his ideas and experimenting with a disciplined yet varied assortment of what he calls “noble” materials to create unique heirloom objects.  

The list of ingredients has expanded and morphed over the years to include repurposed century old timbers, patina’d sheets of steel, mirrored stainless steel and bronze, molten aluminum, raku fired ceramics, concrete, stone, and animal hide. Eric is keenly aware that all of his works are about highlighting the richness of tones and textures embedded in this pallet of earth sourced materials. 

Eric’s works have been celebrated in both private and public spaces and collections since the early Ots. He is very grateful for the opportunity to have an audience for his ideas. Where the focus has always been utmost on inspiration, process, and creation. For personal challenge, and the resulting inner warmth it generates. Eric is always moved that his works provide a curiosity, joy and delight for others.
