Aptly named 'Progression Z' If you are looking for meaning in this sculpture, look to its surroundings. David Meyer described it as 'jewelry-like' in his attempt to convey the idea that it was a 'touch' to a greater whole. The large grass around this steel piece make up the already existing. This piece was meant to bring eye to the grass, its tranquility and indifference. There is much to be learned in life from what is unconscious; plants.

Finally some new work

'Factory' was conceived in September of this year and completed toward the end of October. It is entirely made of steel, weighing about 500 pounds. The basis for this piece came from a drawing (coming soon) and was developed through a series of smaller models.

Sea of Cortez (digital print)

The three images combined here are line drawings done with pen scanned and manipulated in illustrator. The image on the top is in fact the same image just flipped and distorted. The piece was meant to place great emphasis on the negative space between the apparent spitting ocean and raining clouds. Altogether they create a vast infinite amount of space with three layers, clouds, sky and sea.

Bee Aware

The bumble bee is widely used in agriculture as a very effective pollinator. They are able to pollinate species of plants that other pollinators cannot. You should be aware of the decrease of the bumble bee population due to destruction of habitats, pesticides, and some causes are unknown. "Bee Aware" came into fruition once I received a call from my property manager threatening me with a $100 fine if I didn't cut the grass. For many lawns in America, there a wide variety of plant and insect species that are crucial to the preservation of the soil, cutting those out creates an inhabitable space.

I did cut the grass but only enough to highlight the biodiversity that I find to be utterly beautiful. The triangle represents the "yield" sign, something most everyone can subconsciously recognize. The piece is rather large as you can see by the picture but, highlights the presence of this genetic diversity that exists in the lawn. The point is to illustrate the natural beauty of weeds and other small wild grasses, as well as what inhabits them.

Art in the Garden (More coming sooN)

The Hidden Impossible Triangle.
Wood, steel

This piece works on the Gestalt effect as in the mind, the recognition of a whole image does not have to be perceived being made up of the parts that exist within it already. Basically the principle of the piece is that it was made to serve as an optical illusion. The impossible triangle can only be seen within a very particular line of site. The Hidden Impossible Triangle is meant to have the full visual/mental attention of the viewer because if the viewer is able to create the triangle in their plain of sight, the piece will shift from three 3-D pieces into one 2-D whole.
