Renewal

I'm currently working on this suspended copper sculpture - "Renewal" - which is going into a hotel lobby in early 2009.  The dimensions are approximately 17' x 12' x 6'.

Bird City

Ongoing collaboration with landscape designer Lily Jencks.

Favorite winery in Napa Valley

Artesa 

why?  Because it's a sculpture center as well as a winery.  Killer combo.

Paradise - Millbourne Station Proposal

Millbourne is a community in the greater Philadelphia area where the people come from very diverse backgrounds, including large numbers of folks from the Philippines, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and - a standout on this list - Greece.  That isn't supposed to be an exhaustive list... :) its just what we were told, and who we encountered while walking around the tiny township.  

Kate Kaman Studios developed a sculpture proposal that deals with a rare bird: a multi-ethnic character in its own right.  

The Peafowl, and more specifically, the Peacock, is a character that figures in the myths of all of these cultures... trickling down through the folk stories, starring in fables, and permeating the religious symbolism.   The name of the piece comes from one of our favorite stories, wherein peacocks stand guard at the Gate into Paradise.  

We like peacock feathers for their unsurpassed natural beauty, their innocence, and because they're new material for us.  

NYC - DUMBO art show Sept 26-28

Very fun art event in NYC ... Sept 26-28, 2008.... called the Art Under the Bridge Festival.

Interesting to watch reactions to The Clone Corporation.  Public sculpture in a different light.

"Sculpted Green" Opening in Seattle

Tonight we're having the opening of the exhibit "Sculpted Green" in Bellevue Washington. The show includes the work of contemporary sculptors who, through the materials they use, techniques they employ and/or message they seek to impart relate art to ecology, environmentalism, sustainability and similar green notions.

"The Nebulae" are installed right in front of Bellevue City Hall. The lights- powered completely off the grid- are LEDs that modulate through seven different color patterns. The photovoltaic system is a bit over-engineered. It actually charges two deep cycle battery packs, which will hopefully allow it to last a full three months in overcast Seattle. :)
