Artist Statement

"Besides my insatiable desire to design, fabricate, deliver and install art to the public wherever I can, whenever I can, as much as I can, the following poem best describes my interest in public art:

Open love letter to public art:

What I love about you, public art, is that you are meant for everyone

You require no entry fee, cover charge or special invitation.

Set free from the galleries, museums and private homes of the past.

You're out there, in the wild, unapologetic, yet vulnerable, and for everyone to see!

You must be strong, durable, able to withstand all types of weather, public scrutiny and the test of time!

You can be interactive, kinetic or stationary, and come in so many forms,

In all shapes and sizes.

You invite discussion, and bring the world of visual arts to people’s everyday lives.

For all these reasons and many more, I will adore you for the rest of my life!

Hopelessly smitten"

Magnify Statement

This interactive, kinetic sculpture acts as a giant magnifying glass, except sunbeams pour through the colored lens as the viewer swivels the rings into position to catch the light, casting a stained glass reflection on the ground, or anything else it hits. Magnify instantly becomes an education tool as it demonstrates the concepts of transparency, light reflection and refraction, even the physics of mobility with its rotating top.
