a rather unconventional thing to sit on. it's furry too.



I made the basic structure of this out of one sheet of birch plywood and covered that with a piece of bendable plywood. It's about four feet wide and four feet long and the biggest hump is about 16 inches high. The exterior covering is made out of vinyl and some material I found on sale called "cuddle fur".

some collages i made

New Sculpture Model (energy fluxuations)

















Okay so here we have the model for the latest sculpture I've been working on. This is a scale model for what will be a sculpture perched at the top of a ten foot black metal pole, so imagine this about ten to thirteen feet high and about six feet at the widest points. I'm collaborating with Josiah Blevins on this one and today we finally made some headway. The original inspiration for these jagged modules comes from a microscopic image of shark skin that I found. From there we became more concerned with the energy these pieces create and activating the surrounding space. The final product will be made out of ten gauge steel plate. We may try to experiment with some ropes, twines, or fibers but for now this is what we have figured out.
