What's New

Largest yet

Here’s the 14′ sphere I did for a development in Mira Mar, near San Diego. I had to cut it into 4 parts for delivery and even then the height of the load was 14′ 2″ and the lowest overpass on I-5 is 14′ 4″… 1002150907 IMG_2415 IMG_0139 copy

Just can’t stop rolling along!

While I started out making my spheres from largely recycled materials, as you can see below, I’ve expanded to numerous materials, shapes, and colors! I am working on a number of projects at the moment, so before I reveal what I’ve been working on, here’s a selection from the past few years!

WTF 2016

Wow! Two years since my last post?! I’ve been up to a lot since then and would love to share with you some of my newer works! A couple of weeks ago was What the Festival in Dufur, OR where my 10′ disco ball and Immersive Jelly have been joined by two dragons; one 80′ dragon stage, and a smaller fire breathing dragon. What a fun time!

27th Stormy Arts Festival!!!!!!!

How to build a 10′ disco ball….

First you make a sphere using 3 shapes to simplify the production of acrylic mirror needed, count all the various shapes, hang it up, add some paint… disco-1 disco-4 disco-3 disco-2 disco-5

This sculptural screen help bring the water down from the roof and into a large storm water planter to help keep the Willamette river clean in a colorful and stylish way. The steel was first hot dipped galvanized and then powder coated a vibrant orange. Thanks to Urban Development Partners fordiv-2 div-3 div-1 this fun piece. Last winter turned it into an ice fall…

WTF! Immersive forest jelly at WTF

My daughter Anna and I put up this fun installation at What The Festival, an EDM music fest near Dufur, Oregon. We hung the 18″ diameter “donut” 12′ off the ground and added over 21,000′ of nylon ribbon that touched many senses, the sound of it rustling in the wind, the soft, silky touch, ever changing visual form both day and night. I’m already planning a similar, though larger piece for next years festival.
