关于此艺术家

Throughout my career, the motivating factor of my sculpture has been to make the viewer aware of the potential energy that surrounds them.

Being aware of this unseen energy brings the viewer closer to the mysteries of the natural world.

This awakening empowers us to live in closer harmony with nature.

I am a passionate advocate of respect for the planet and its natural systems that enable us to exist.

I employ two vocabularies to articulate these energy fields: light, and its transformations, and motion.

I manipulate light by breaking it down into the spectrum and projecting it throughout the environment. When light strikes the prisms which form the structural members of my work, they refract brilliant moving rainbows. I also employ a holographic material which is aluminum that has been photoengraved with 125,000 lines per inch. This treatment enables it to take white light and break it down it into the spectrum.

Many of my outdoor works function as monolithic wind vanes, constantly hunting upwind, like a sailboat riding at anchor. Despite their massive size, these works are so aerodynamically sensitive that they respond to the slightest breeze.

In my atrium works, prisms are joined by hanging airfoils, which derive their movement from the air currents created by the building's internal environment.

Works such as Sun Dagger function as celestial observatories and amplifiy the union and synergy of man and nature. Sun Dagger works as a noon transit sundial, and as a seasonal calendar, celebrating the winter and summer solstices and the vernal and autumnal equinoxes. The prisms on the end of the gnomon project rainbows from the prism array onto the sunline, crossing it, making the sculpture a seasonal calendar as well as a way to tell time.

This work is pure Constructivism, using sophisticated industrial materials and techniques, like architectural stainless steel and silicon bronze and polymer prisms. It is highly complex to construct, and it is only an illusion that it is �untouched by human hands.�

While it refers also to the Minimalists in terms of its design, unlike the Minimalists, I do not distance myself from the work by having it fabricated, but create it in my own studio, usually working with only one assistant.

Sun Dagger

2004
Silicon bronze, polymer prisms
685 L, 419 H, 1092 by 1554 wide

Utah Public Arts Program, Utah Arts Council, Utah Valley State College Wasatch Campus, Heber City, Utah. Celestial observatory which works as a noon transit sundial, and as a seasonal calendar, celebrating the winter and summer solstices and the vernal and autumnal equinoxes with rainbows crossing the sunline.

Sun Dagger (Detail)

2004
Silicon bronze, polymer prisms
685 L, 419 H, 1092 by 1554 wide

Utah Public Arts Program, Utah Arts Council, Utah Valley State College Wasatch Campus, Heber City, Utah. Detail of noon transit on the autumnal equinox.

Orion's Belt

2002
Stainless steel, wind interactive
3 sculptures 1675 L, 823 H, 426 W, plus 14 pavers 40.64 round

Arts Council, City of Corpus Christi, Texas. Orion's Belt is the gateway sculpture for the city of Corpus Christi, Texas. It is based on the geometry of the constellation Orion, which is frequently used in celestial navigation, and celebrates the city�s identity as a seafaring and aviation community. The three stars that comprise Orion�s Belt are represented by three stainless steel wind vanes placed on the entryway between the city of Corpus Christi and Corpus Christi Bay. Stainless steel discs with the glyph of Orion set into the pavement throughout the city identify the secondary stars in the constellation. The constellation and the sculpture cover the entire city.

Solar Wind

2000
Stainless steel and polymer prisms, wind and light interactive
1981 L, 853 H, 457 W

Utah Public Arts Program, Utah Arts Council Salt Lake Community College. Sited at the entrance to the High Tech Campus of the College. My goal for this sculpture was to create an icon that leads the viewer to visualize their relationship with nature by forming a link between technology and the natural world. Utilizing the energies of the natural world as a power source, Solar Wind calls the viewer�s attention to the mysteries that surround us, but go unseen. Sited on the north end of the Pathway of Knowledge that bisects the campus, Solar Wind has become the visual terminus of the journey through the campus. This journey brings the traveller to a higher plane of awareness when they experience the invisible that surrounds them in their daily lives, made real by Solar Wind in front of the new Technology building. Solar Wind interacts with both light and wind energies. It interacts with ambient wind energy by facing upwind to seek the wind at its source, indicating its direction. The prisms which form its wind catching surfaces gather white light and transform it into rainbows, projecting them throughout the site. The materials of both the vane and the prisms gather light at night and are visible from all over the site. The rainbow is a positive and nurturant symbol when encountered in nature. It is always regarded as a good omen. This sculpture celebrates the mating of light and wind, the synthesis of technology and nature, the dialogue between the academic community and the real world.

Fields within Fields

1997
Mirror-polished stainless steel and polymer prisms
1005 L, 366 H, 366 W

Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art, Ridgefield , Connecticut. Fields Within Fields was built for a show in 1997 at the Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art in Ridgefield, Connecticut. It is one of a series of Bridges and Passages based on the vocabulary of architectural minimalism. The world inside the Passage is transformed by the bands of rainbow light refracted by the prisms that form the piece�s structure.

Luminae

1996
Welded aluminum coated with diffraction grating
609 H, 1219 W

Commissioned by Bristol Myers Squibb, New Brunswick, New Jersey. The surface is clad with a holographic material that is aluminum that has been photoengraved with 125,000 lines per inch. This treatment enables it to take white light and break it down it into the spectrum. In scientific terms, it forms a diffraction grating. Light is the catalyst that unlocks the potential of this artwork. It reacts to the movement of the sun as well as to a viewer walking through the space, causing the planes of the sculpture to shift their color. This gives it the ability to reflect and project rainbows from its surface. In all cultures, the rainbow is a symbol of well-being, benevolence and good luck.

Mobius Solaris

1995
Mirror-polished stainless steel and polymer prisms, heliostat sun tracking mechanism
853 H, 518 W

Commissioned by the Connecticut Commission on the Arts. Castleman Engineering Building, University of Connecticut, Storrs.

Stargon

1987
Welded and polished stainless steel, wind interactive
2438 L, 1524 H

Bard College, Annandale-on-Hudson, New York. This sculpture weighs ten tons, yet it will move in the lightest breeze. It continually faces upwind, like a sailboat at anchor. Originally sited in front of Bard's Curatorial Studies Center, it was recently relocated near the Performing Arts Center designed by Frank Gehry.

Dream Weaver

2008
Welded aluminum, holographic material
Exterior and Atrium each: 2286 cm L, 914 cm W, 609 cm H

Dream Weaver
Dream Weaver takes white light and breaks it down it into the spectrum; light is the catalyst that unlocks its potential. The movement of the sun or of a viewer walking through the space causes a color shift in its planes. The sculpture is my interpretation of string theory, calling our attention to unseen dimensions. Stretching to the common outside wall of the building and appearing to penetrate it, it is a dance of light and space that is synergistic with the visual movement of the canopy through the walls of the building.
