OUTDOOR SCULPTURES

INTERSTELLAR

INTERSTELLAR

INTERSTELLAR

Material: Recycled Steel

Description: Look up! We are made of stars and on our tiny planet we are travelling among the stars trying to find order in the chaos around us so we can feel in control of an uncontrollable universe. 


Each sphere in the sculpture represents a universe, and as one looks up, they can see a small reflection of themselves as we are each reflected in the billions of stars in our universe. Walk around sculpture and see how the view changes. 

OBSERVER I

INTERSTELLAR

INTERSTELLAR

Material: Recycled Steel

Description: The watchful eye is always looking. But, it’s not what you look at, 

it’s what you see that matters.

OBSERVER II

INTERSTELLAR

ALMOST CONTAINED

Material: Recycled Steel

Description: On the other side of the garden, the watcher keep on watching. But, it’s not what you look at, 

it’s what you see that matters.

ALMOST CONTAINED

ALMOST CONTAINED

ALMOST CONTAINED

Material: Recycled Steel

A sculpture that represents the desire to break free from a world that tries to contain us, but no matter how hard it tries to cage the human spirit, even a small opening is enough for our mind to break free. In a world that can feel harsh, sharp, and cold, our mind and imagination can be the gateway to escape from any prison that tries to keep us in.

THE FORM

ALMOST CONTAINED

THE HEAVY LOAD

Material: Reinforced Concrete

The healing that balance brings. Heavy concrete that seems to float along the landscape. 

THE HEAVY LOAD

ALMOST CONTAINED

THE HEAVY LOAD

Material: Recycled Steel

The heaviness of the world tries to weigh the human spirit down, but it perseveres, and the hope that lives inside, helps to move us forward. One step at a time.
