elements with industrial cast-offs. His sometimes whimsical, sometimes frightening
creatures have been exhibited in galleries and museums throughout the United States.
He has taught welded sculpture and team taught classes with industry-trained metal
workers. In 2000 the Hermitage Sculpture Garden in Santa Barbara purchased a
twenty-two foot tall and twenty-foot wide sculpture of David's for its permanent
collection.
In addition to his own work David frequently workes with his partner Trisha Kyner
under the name of Grendel's Mother. As Grendel's Mother they work collaboratively
on large-scale public art projects. In partnership with universities, museums
and elementary schools they have led groups of adults as well as children in the
creation of sculptures in such materials as cement, tile, metal and paper mache.
