My Project Portfolios

It was from the origins of model building and my fascination with synergy that my mind began working in the direction found in this portfolio. My career in architecture soon followed from the search for an engineer for a monumental piece for a public space. Now, years later (and with the engineering software available!), I am coming back to complete the series with some monumental pieces.

The pieces with the black backgrounds (found within) are small sketches for larger works. The elements of the sculpture are very 3-dimensional, though difficult to tell from the photographs. The round rods in the works are held apart by their own forces of tension, compression, and tensegrity. Some sculptures, as in the one found here, can move due to the wind. There will be some video files to follow.

The elements of the sculptures bear some similarity to the relationships within society. That relationship of one piece assisting the other to be where it needs to be in order that the next piece can remain in, or move to, its location—dynamic or otherwise. The translation is transparent.
