After studying for his bachelor's degree in sculpture at the Rhode Island School of Design, he moved to Italy in 1976 and was apprenticed for ten years to Tuscan blacksmiths, making forged-steel sculpture and tools in a sixteenth-century water-powered forge. Since his return to New York City, he has made sculpture using large- and small-scale industrial forging and machining techniques. His work has been exhibited at numerous venues in the United States. His research on his father's art has focused primarily on the photographs as a lens through which to study Ralston Crawford's paintings, lithographs and drawings.
