A sculpture, a volumetric line drawing, an installation, variable in scale. Permanent or ephemeral. The below sculpture “Aurora” is 144 x 60 x 48” and is adaptable in shape and size to various settings. Future works in this series are to be absolutely enormous (and colorful). The inspiration for this was auroras, comets, van allen belts, electricity, subatomic cloud chambers…
The work builds on the other sculptures seen below, all of which are single works created from mutliple component parts, the purpose of which is so they can be transformed in scale and shape, and meaning, (and ship easily.) Much of my work (paintings, sculpture, installation, and photo projects) is constructed this way - in no smal part to highlight the beautiful precarity of life (change always) and how larger systems are composed of unique discrete parts (the forest is the trees / the forest is not the trees, the individual is not the collective, etc).
Left: two separate paintings, each made of dozens recombinant panels, intermixed; Center: conduit tree, made from hundreds of component parts, Right: NDF, a work made from hundreds fo feathers, darts and needles. All are variable in scale and shape. The below works is a enormous and complex volumetric painting/sculpture, in development (and awaiting an ambitious curator).
Many more works like this on the site; poke around…
