Myford works in aluminum. He utilizes the "full-mold process", a type of casting technique. Most of his works are "unique" which is to say there is only one of each rather than a series or edition of identical pieces. However, a select few are cast in small editions and are marked by their edition number. One is immediately impressed with the freshness and vitality of the work which has tremendous promise for both experienced and novice collectors.

The process begins with an idea, a concept, a feeling, a general basic form is drawn on a piece or pieces of styrofoam. Sometimes a few preliminary sketches may be drawn on paper, but not always. The styrofoam is shaped by cutting, carving, sanding. Sometimes a wax is applied to the foam surfaces to help produce smoother surfaces if desired.

The original styrofoam shapes (patterns) are then buried in a foundry sand. If the sculpture is to be one of a kind the molten aluminum is poured directly into the foam which vaporizes. The result is an aluminum form identical to the original foam pattern. If more than one casting is desirable then a two-part sand mold is made, the foam removed, the two-part sand mold put back together and the molten aluminum is poured into the open cavity.

After the sculpture is cast there can be considerable cleanup and finishing including: grinding, filing, sanding, polishing, painting, etc. The larger outdoor works are often produced by combining the casting and fabricating processes.

Myford's abstract works are strongly infuenced by nature -- trees, shells, stones, and the geologic formations seen in the Sonoran Desert of Arizona where he and his wife have a winter home.
