STUDIO LAMPS

TWO CONICALLY SHAPED LAMPS WHICH THE USER ROLLS INTO POSITION. TWO HANDS MAY BE REQUIRED BECAUSE OF THEIR SIZE AND STATURE. INVESTIGATE THE RELATIONSHIP YOU HAVE WITH THE LAMP AND ITS OWN SHADOWS AND WEIGHT.
TWIRL INSTALL
I use 1/8" masking tape to draw instructional diagrams and illustrations on the walls of the installations
TWIRL CHAIRS
TWIRL CHIARS ARE A PLAYFUL WAY OF EXPLORING ONES RELATIONSHIP TO THAT OF CHAIR AND GROUND. UPON SITTING, ONE WILL FEEL THAT THE SHAPE OF THE CHAIR, LIKE A TOP, AND BEGIN TO “TWIRL” AROUND UNTIL RESTED IN POSITION. THEY CAN BE MADE TO CUSTOM SIZES AND DEPTHS.
Long Conversation

STRIPS OF METAL, WELDED TOGETHER FORM THESE SKINS, LARGE SCALE SCULPTURAL OBJECTS, WHICH EVOKE GROWTH, MUSIC, AND RHYTHM. LIGHT ENOUGH TO BE MANUEVERED LIKE TOYS, THEY HAVE BECOME BENCHES, SLIDES, MUSICAL INSTURMENTS. THEY FACILITATE SOCIAL INTERACTION AND PLAY, COMMUNICATION AND DISCOVERY.

A SYSTEM DEVELOPED TO BRING COMPANY WHO SHOW THEIR ATTATCHMENTS TO PERSONAL SPACE. A GROUP WOULD GATHER SEATS OR A SINGLE FELLOW MIGHT EITHER PUSH A SEAT TOWARDS A STRANGER OR AWAY TO READ. THE SCULPTURE STAYS ALIVE WITH ITS EVERCHANGING FORMATION AND ACTIVITY.
CIRCUMSCRIBE
A SYSTEM DEVELOPED TO BRING COMPANY WHO SHOW THEIR ATTATCHMENTS TO PERSONAL SPACE. SIMILAR TO THE SYSTEM ABOVE, HOWEVER THREE SEATS ORBIT THEIR OWN CENTER. THIS CAN BE A VERY PRIVATE EXPERIENCE OR ONE THAT NEEDS THE COOPERATION OF OTHERS IN THE CHOREOGRAPHY OF MOVEMENT IN ORDER TO COMPLETE ONE’S TRAVEL.

Sentinel Bed
Sentinel Bed
This bed was commissioned as a wedding gift. The posts are turned 2,000 year old salvaged redwood beams and Eastern Walnut. The headboard and footboard are hand selected and sequenced Clare California Walnut. The posts themselves were used as an altar for the wedding ceremony.
Sentinel Bed Detail
The salvaged redwood beams used in the posts were reclaimed from a naval base in Alameda, Ca. The hardware connecting the headboard to these posts is a resemblance of the steel bolts used to construct the naval buildings.

MellonWorks
I silently signed the inside of the bedrail with illustrations of an M and W for MellonWorks. I used a wood burning tool to achieve the depth of line.
