Untitled with Pentagon
2013 Catherine Konner Sculpture Park, Rockland Center for The Arts, 13.5 Feet in Height
Untitled with Pentagon represents an investigation into both security and exploring beyond what one expects. Adventure and inquiry, testing and pushing past boundaries. Each of the “pixels” erupt and expand past their own space while questioning and penetrating authority. The Pentagon is a very stable form, an image of strength and security, and although it is not broken, it is off angle. This piece encourages exploration, self determination and the continued questioning of authority.
Focus
2006, Contemporary Sculpture at Chesterwood, 12.0 Feet in Height
Getting us to look from the outside in, Focus asks the viewer to examine each individual detail and aspect of our land, existence, if you prefer. Each “pixel” commanding and controlling it’s own space is highlighted by a window frame screen that brings our attention to the varied activities of each and every part of our experiences. As we look from above, like a microscope, against our experiences
Cloud Stop

A rest stop for the clouds. Engineering, surveyor targets guild the clouds in for a soft landing. Giving the viewer a lighter moment to think about the magnitude of the sky and world above us.
Sky Truss
1997 Public Art Display Permanent Installation, 36.0 Feet in Height
Reaching a height of 36 feet, Sky Truss #5 has a ball barring top that allows the sky to roll around and present us with varied views of the world. A humorous work at play to enjoy without guilt.
