VARIOUS SERIES

Columns are architecturally inspired. Their method of assembly, and strong repeated pattern mimics the rhythm of Architecture, and construction.

Reconstructions, like Columns, are architecturally inspired. Unlike Columns, however, Reconstructions are more elaborate in their assembly.

Monoliths are a very early series of sculptures that take a single stone, then disassemble it as a loaf of bread would be sliced. The stone is then reassembled around layers of glass that are cut to the same shape of the stone. Monoliths require that light transmit through them, similar to a stained glass window, and are best placed between the viewer and the light source.

New City sculptures were the Artists response to finding whole trees killed in order to make way for new construction. In the desert, where all non-arid landscape has a tenuous hold at best, it seemed especially poignant that those trees should experience such an unceremonious demise after such a struggle. These sculptures attempt to celebrate those trees lost in the name of development.
