He has curated and installed artworks throughout New England, built an elephant toy, timber-framed in Poland, TA’d Human Anatomy & Mold-Making, and spent 6 years running a non-for-profit bicycle shop. In his sculpture he works with the human form participating in the canonization of societal iconography condensing multi-faceted narratives into physical form.

Patrick works in the figurative tradition he creates emotional depth to his work by offering two distinct experiences. The physical experience of seeing it in person and a secondary abstracted emotional queue through poetry, providing narrative scaffolding, without directly telling viewers what to think.
