It was a great weekend at the Forestry Center where the Sitka Center held their annual fundraiser. There is always a great selection of art from the best artists and craftspeople in the Northwest. I had this 80″ salmon made from stainless steel and stainless flatware, it was fun to watch visitors face as they realized what it was made from. Special thanks to my friend and fish expert Eric Leonard for making it look like a fish….
I had a great time bringing Earth Dragon down to Oakdale, Ca for the Symbiosis Gathering, a celebration of music, art and friendship. Special thanks to Joshua Levine who convinced me to go, Ilko and Cimmaron who looked after it during the festival and Jean Margaret who took these photos.
I was just down in Palm Desert dropping these 2 sculptures off at the Desert Art Collection, a great gallery in a nice city though 105 degrees made me remember why I love Portland….Please stop in and visit with Jana the Gallery Director and enjoy the air conditioning while visiting their great collection.

Here’s the small “Earth Dragon” doing it’s thing at What the Festival this year. Always fun letting people press the fire button….
Oregon Ballet Theater used my sculpture Rational Exuberance in a photo shoot for Artslandia magazine with this great result. They perfectly captured the energy and grace that I hoped to give the piece.
Here’s a 7′ sphere made from 1/4″ stainless steel rod of random lengths suspended over a small pond at the newly opened bamboo garden at the arboretum. It’s an honor to be part of such a Portland institution and it was easy to work with the great staff. 
Daughters Celia and Anna helped keep me awake on the road and made a tricky installation easy as we moved in 2 pieces of an 8′ sphere and then welded it back together in the lobby of a new building at 100 St Paul in the Cherry Creek neighborhood of Denver.
This 112″ stainless sphere has been in the sculpture park next to the beautiful city hall for 2 years and will soon be moved to a permanent (TBD) location in the city. 
I installed this piece a few weeks ago at a new development in Foster City, just South of San Francisco. It’s made from overlapping pieces of 3/8″ thick stainless steel, about 15′ tall on the pedestal.
Here’s a 6′ diameter sphere made from bicycle sprockets for Cook St Apartments on N Williams st here in Portland. Thanks to Bike Portland blog for the photos!
