NEXUS
This interconnected linkage of circles is a new direction for my work. A dynamic system contained in a compact space.
BOUGANVILLA
When I thought up this piece, I wanted to be surprised by its motion. The vibrant Rosa Mexicana contrasting the dark gray anodize did this very well
HALCYON
In the same vein as the work TRANSIT, this piece, HALCYON, works with an included air movement system. In this particular piece one experiences visual tricks as the yellow geometric forms move past each other. Having imagined the motion and sketching it very roughly, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I was very happy with the result.
ECHELON
One of my favorites. The surprise of the mirrored finish flashing as the piece spins around is wonderful
PARABOLIC
The PARABOLIC series of pieces was a group of 8 variations of the same piece. I used brushed aluminum, anodized aluminum, gold leafed aluminum and painted as well. This informal video gives a feel for its size.
LED HANGING SCULPTURE
This large hanging indoor work was an experimental project using LED light strips, an Arduino microprocessor and some sophisticated bearing systems that allowed electric connections through them. The sculpture itself was hanging and moved independently using fans on relays to achieve the proper dynamism. It was a lot of fun to work with a friend to learn basic coding and see if this may have a future in my work.
TRACER
Multiple axes of movement create a dynamism that surprises
TRANSIT
TRANSIT - 2018 This sculpture was the first of four framed wall sculptures that had a self contained air movement system. Complete with relay timers and silent fans to actuate the work and achieve the desired motion
BOW
One of the later escapement pieces, BOW, is a small table top work that operates with the aim of having the central disk appear to just be barely moving. In fact, the center of the disk is the center point around which the whole sculpture is built.
HANGING CARBON CIRCLES
This piece was part of a series where I used carbon fiber strip to create geometric forms. It lent itself well to making perfect circles. The light weight, the interesting visual texture and its strength made it a go to for several pieces. This piece hangs from the ceiling from a gimbal that allows motion in all directions.
LUNETTE
A hanging sculpture that I have also adapted as a standing piece
DUNEGRASS
Adding multiple elements at angles to each other bring a whole new quality of motion
TOURS EN L'AIR
Working with wood is where I started. Here, I am happily back there.
