Meeting of the Minds
This mixed-media sculptural installation combines kinetics and large scale forms to create an interactive metaphor for the communication of ideas. The transmission of thoughts and opinions becomes an art form and this plays out kinetically with a six foot diameter track on which two antique “Gang Cars” travel around at the push of a button, activated by the viewer, colliding at random points around the circle.

Ready-Made Dialog
8 ft. x 6 ft. x 2.5 ft.; wood, porcelain, neon, and metal
A medley of one part carnival ride, one part “how’s the weather”, and a pinch of social parody inspired this work. This work began an exploration into artificial light sources and their incorporation into this and subsequent sculptures. Activated space and implied movement have been heavily emphasized in this design. It is larger than life with varied surfaces from a recycled shiplap wood surface to steel inlaid tracks, yellow neon, and two porcelain urinals. It is at once playful, bizarre, sophisticated, and suggestive.
