Kinetic Works

Steel, Mahogany, Fan motors

These were fun and interestingly difficult to create. I constructed the two works in an improvisational manner, with nothing but a couple basic sketches to go by.Wood is a very unforgiving material when working under quick intuition. Metal, on the other hand, is endlessly workable. The top piece is a faux-generator. The working exercise bike "charges" the fan motor. The kinetics are achieved manually. The smaller piece vibrates do to a counterweight welded to the fan motor. It gently drifts as the bent laminated mahogany antlers buzz and hum.

This piece was inspired by its environment; desolate sand pits interwoven by dirt/mountain bike and trails. The debris by these high tension wires was very diverse. I felt obliged to use tires in this work for some reason and that's how it started and ended. The final product looks, to me, like some kind of dune buggy. Some elements include a propane tank and car battery, light, fridge, pool ladder, wood and stone.

This piece is tucked into a little nook off of some mountain bike trails. It is constructed of rotting car parts. I built a connecting unit to a nearby stump. The form has nice lines from various angles, unfortunately the shots do not really capture this.

These are located in a state park in my home town. They are covered in shotgun wounds. I am sure they will continue to be used as targets.

Site Construction II

This a new site I am currently working at. Do to trespassing issues I may have to wait a while until this series is worked upon further.

Toys

These were all hand sculpted then made into a mold. This series is cast in plastic and hand painted in acrylic. More to come...
