Selected Sculptures & Installations.
As a designer, I very much enjoy bringing my work into the real world. Below are various sculpture and installation projects created from 2020 to present.
In a moment of silence, the viewer sits down on the floor to take a better look. Without even realizing it- our curious investigator has become the dinner date.
Dining for One captivates a “down to Earth” experience between the viewer (the “date”) and the opposing diner.

In the morning rush trying to catch the train, they tripped on a loose brick revengefully out of place. Violently crashing, the tote scattered the blank masks across the floor. Scrambled and confused, the faces were left- soon to be forgotten.
Hidden Identi-ties is about the perception of losing yourself in your intimate relationships. It encapsulates lust, indulgence, gluttony, nostalgia, and broken ties. A projected image, Projection Schemes (2021), captures the essence of these themes as “projected identities”.

Several 18” x 18” hard plastic panels were vacuumed-formed over the aluminum face from my Projection Schemes (2021) piece.
-
Used to make the metal face for the “mold”.
In Continuation of Hidden Identi-ties, Projection Schemes explores the idea of “Big Brother” and the influence of media, material, and projected realities. Cast Aluminum emphasizes this notion of power, technology, and influence.

A face mold was first made by pouring silicon onto my face. This flimsy silicon mold was then reinforced with a plaster shell.
-
Was then used to create the mold that would be used for the cast aluminum.
-
The final piece was the cast in aluminum, sanded, and finished to act as the projector source.
Driven by greed, Meltdown On Earth speaks to the consequences, loss of humanity, and duplicity of a society driven by materialistic value.
The work does so in a satirical way exploring this literal meltdown as the dissolved remains of planet Earth.

Used to create the mold that would be used for the cast iron.

Iron was poured into a wax/plaster mold, sanded, and finished for the structure of the piece.
