I have a new commission for TriMet, a sculpture for a new light rail stop in Gresham. It will be a tower with a kinetic sort of iris valve at the top. Thanks to Stephan Von Muehlen and Parallel Development for help long ago with the model of an early version of this sculpture.
Artist Heidi Cody and I collaborated on Mutiny Aboard the Cutty Sark - which was on display last july at the LAB Gallery @ 47th & Lexington in the Roger Smith hotel in New York City. Thanks to Parallel Development for help on this project.
Thanks also to Paul Haeberli and Lamina Design. The Lamina software does a wonderful job of unwrapping 3D surfaces, to reveal the 2D sheet pattern one needs to build the 3D form. I have used this on the Cutty Sark hull and will use it a bit on my Seattle Fire Station #37 tower. Thanks for your help Lamina!
Waving Post, an outdoor interactive sculpture for TriMet, was installed at the Fuller Road Station of the new eastside light rail extension thru SE Portland and into Clackamas County in April 2009. Thanks to Rafael Cuevas for fabrication assistance on this project.
I am one of several artists commissioned to do work for the new Port of Portland headquarters building in Portland Oregon. I am working on a kinetic outdoor shade/rain structure.
The outdoor interactive sculpture Breathing Post remains at The Arts Center in Corvallis Oregon on long term loan.
In August I was commissioned by the Seattle Office of Arts and Cultural Affairs to create a sculpture for Firestation #37 in West Seattle. Fabrication of the sculpture is under way. It will be installed in 2010.
I installed a public project for Charlotte, North Carolina's Shuffletown Sportsplex, on the site of the old Shuffletown Dragstrip in the summer of 2009. Thanks to Madden Fabrication and Jim Meakin for fabrication assistance on this project. See Hand for video of work in progress/action.
