Clunk Sculpture

A fascination with industrial process and a background in Graphic Communication has led to my creating a body of work consisting of machine-like, interactive sculpture. Video can be seen at https://vimeo.com/user5678716 I am primarily self-taught and have for many years now incorporated motion into my sculpture. I work primarily with steel, a material that when used for sculpture, has often been bent, moved and stretched in seemingly impossible ways to exploit its strengths. My work is about making the material move literally, in real time. I use mechanics based on simple geometry to affect a series of shapes transforming mechanical engagement into a fluid motion. I currently have new work installed in Palazzo Mora, Venice, Italy for Time Space Existence during the Venice Architecture Biennale 2018. This exhibition runs through Nov. 25 during Venice Architecture Biennale 2018. I have been the recipient of the 4Culture Individual Artist Project Grant, as well as the Artist Trust Grants for Artists Projects (GAP). My work has been featured in the Bellevue, WA Biennial Sculpture exhibition; Bellwether, the Redmond, WA Outdoor Sculpture Exhibition, Bumbershoot, Maker Faire, Coachella, Winston Wächter Fine Art, Out of Sight at King Street Station, Bellevue Art Museum’s Biennial 2016: Metalmorphosis and Oxbow in Seattle, WA. I also have work permanently installed in City Hall in Redmond, WA as part of the city’s collection, the Science Museum of Oklahoma, and the Georgetown neighborhood of Seattle; commissioned by SDOT through the Office of Arts & Culture.
