2012 Gallery Roll

I had a few pieces at this year's Gallery Roll, and ran across some other great bike art as well:

Great Basin National Park table models

As part of my 2011 Artist-In-Residency at the Great Basin National Park, I agreed to produce and donate a piece of work that was inspired by my time there.  I've been making some small-scale models of a larger sculptural table (that I'll bring out in a month or so) to explore different ideas before committing to the full-scale work.

I'm playing around with the geometries I experienced in the Great Basin:  the curves and swoops of the Bristlecone pine trees high on the exposed ridges, and the orthogonal lines and grids (farmland and road, for example) that were apparent from the air and on maps.

Bike Collective sign progress

Welding's all done on the SLC Bike Collective's new marquee, now we just need a powdercoating and some lighting . . . .

Art for ARC

On March 30th Larimer County's ARC will be having their Art for Arc event, and the Candle Log will be on the auction block.  If you're in the Ft. Collins, CO area swing by and check it out!

Architectural Details: Windows & lights . . .

Just finished a few projects that have more of an architectural flavor to them.

A couple of window coverings, influenced by the Kanagawa Wave, surfing, and the sweet skiing out here in the Wasatch:

And a light using steel remnant cuttings from a crampon manufacturer.  After working with New Balance's fabric cuttings, I have been exploring some ideas using manufacturing remnants and was excited to try these out.  See if you can figure out what part of the crampon they're from . . .

The remnants before I started on them . . .
