Site-specific
works

Work shaped by
a specific place.

Created in direct response to landscape, architecture, and the ways people move through, inhabit, and experience a place.

Selected
projects

Three project positions—each can become a hero-led story or a deeper process presentation.

Inquiry

How can a structure bring us into an active, changing relationship with an expansive meadow and mountain environment—making the setting newly perceptible with every approach?

Form

A 16-foot outer steel cube contains a sequence of precisely dimensioned inner cubes, all sharing a common edge. As alignment shifts with the viewer’s position, the work continually reframes the meadow, mountains and sky.

Encounter

From the valley road, across the field, and within the climbable structure, Inward Perspectives changes with every angle of approach—repositioning the viewer in relation to the landscape and to their own self within it.

Inquiry

Made for a meeting point of public paths within a growing housing development, Parabolic Cube asks how movement through a shared setting can continually reshape what is seen.

Form

A 9-foot stainless-steel cube is composed entirely of straight lines that generate a parabolic field—producing precise curves and a form that shifts with every angle of view.

Encounter

Bike and pedestrian paths arrive from all directions and intersect at the sculpture. Moving around it produces a 360-degree experience: the form continuously changes to the naked eye, drawing attention to one’s position and the paths shared with others.

Inquiry

Using sculptural presence to help tell story.

Form

Twelve mixed-media sculptures created for What Happens Later, integrated throughout the film’s set design.

Encounter

An uncommon use of sculpture in film: each work elevated the visual world of the sets while offering subtle emphasis to the narrative. Their placement, form, and presence shifted in response to character connection and emotion.
