About

KInetic Sculpture has always fascinated me.  It helps that New Orleans has some wonderful examples for inspiration.  When I finally had some success in life I didn't get a car or a fancy watch, but a piece of Kinetic Sculpture.

My background is in Broadcasting and more specifically, software for Broadcasters.  Building Kinetic work brings some of the same kinds of complexity to creation that software does - the inner workings are far more involved than people see, but if what they see isn't beautiful (in either it's execution or it's motion) than all the work under the surface is wasted.  

By definition Kinetic Artwork is very broad, encompassing work that's driven by light, sound, water, magnetism or electricity and using all kinds of materials.  My approach is very focused - lightweight, highly polished aluminum triggered exclusively by wind.  

I expect most work will be done in editions, limited to 3 to 10 renderings of each piece.  I also like to think of the current pieces more as the beginnings of series rather than isolated works.  In the case of the ribbon stacks, I'm already planning different sizes and more abstract shapes than the circles and squares that have already been done.  For a piece like Limbs Akimbo I see the next version moving up to 10 or 12 limbs beyond the current five.

If this work interests you I would be happy to provide one of the existing pieces, but I would also be delighted to start the conversation that would lead to an ideal acquisition based on your site, the wind and weather conditions and how we can create something that might fit perfectly in your space.
