Public Art
Light touches our soul directly whether in the form of a sunny day or the brilliance of color. It creeps in and can catch one off guard by a purity that's disarming. In a world which is ever increasing the speed of life, I like to offer a place where there is neither time nor space, only an experience before words form.

Celestial Chance (1993-1994)
Platform-steel, holographic skylight panels and paving. Lower level - ceramic tile.
This installation presents contemporary and indigenous approaches to the sky as a realm of discovery. The Chumash of Southern California believed in a mystic game of lots between the Sun and Sky Coyote as the North Star foretold the new year. The upper level pays homage to solar and celestial instruments. The Station’s lower level includes tile installations inspired by Chumash pictograms by collaborating tile artist, Viqui McCaslin.
Commissioned by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority for the Long Beach Boulevard Metro Station.
Evidence of Time and Dual Cascade (1993-1994)
Inverted pendulum, steel, aluminum, holographic panels, illuminated sky panel and motorize drive system, 36’.
“The earth turned in her sleep and traded one surface for another.” (Umberto Eco, Foucault’s Pendulum)
This installation scans the sky as the earth rotates beneath it. An inverted pendulum, it marks the Entrance Plaza of the Moreno Valley Mall and sweeps slowly from north to south. Illuminated by sunlight, the spectral colors of light race up and down the sculpture’s south face with its motion. Commissioned for the Moreno Valley Mall, Moreno Valley, CA.
Matrix (1999)
Digital glass panels illuminated by sunlight, 12’x18’. This solar illuminated entry was inspired by the evolution of encoded information from visual patterns and symbols to written language and digital code. Included quotations from poetry, prose and personal statements on quest, search or discovery honor the library’s role as source and archive of information.
Commissioned for the E.P. Foster Library, Ventura, CA through Ventura Art and Public Place Program.
Reflecting Time (2005)
Two sixty-five foot screens with projected video imagery and poetry.
In the paradox of time, the present is experienced as the continuous now or as a fleeting moment caught between the past and future. Projected video and poetry flows in opposite direction across two, 60 foot screens within the storefront windows. The central entry suggests the present. Imagery and words from memories flow to the left, hopes and dreams to the right. From the viewpoint of the present both seems to race away. Commissioned for the Scarbrough Building, Austin, TX.
