Statement
Over the past 17 years, I have made a body of suspended and
freestanding kinetic sculpture, much of it designed to respond
to the exterior natural environment of wind and light.
I attempt, with an economy of means, to construct objects whose visual
references range from lo-tech sci-fi paraphernalia to microbiological or
astronomical models.
Utilizing primarily stainless steel armatures that are driven either by
hammered curvilinear shapes or flat fiberglass covered discs, I hope
the pieces assume a spare, linear elegance when conditions are still,
mutating to raucous animation when the wind picks up. Multiple axis finely
balanced forms, both symmetrical and asymmetrical, conspire to create a
visually satisfying three dimensional harmony.
Interior pieces include suspended gear motor and air driven wire armatures
stretched with fiberglass, similar wall mounted pieces, as well as glass
assemblages.
