A Shooting Star

We had just finished a bedtime story when something bright streaked across the sky outside the window. We ran out and found it resting on the shed’s roof — a shiny, golden star. It must’ve gotten very hot while falling to Earth. We watched as one of its spikes slowly stretched downward, still soft, before it finally hardened in place. We brought it in, and now we have our own shooting star.

HUG A proposal for a monumental stainless steel sculpture for an urban environment.

At first glance, the sculpture appears abstract — a fluid, star-like form. But look closer, and a walking figure emerges. Two of its extensions reach outward like arms mid-stride, as if embracing the world. One leg stretches forward, the other trails behind.

Though it is still, you can feel him moving. He animates in your head.

The top curve arches back, evoking a head tilted to the sky. There is no face, yet joy radiates. The sunlight caresses him. He strides forward, open to whatever lies ahead — embracing it all.

He is monumental.His feet are on the ground, his head in the clouds. He is reflective — the urban landscape moves through him.

233 mph

A sculpture of a human figure moving extremely fast.

The boundaries of the human figure dissolve. The person and his vehicle become single a condensed shape.

Glowing Frog painted wall sculpture

I come across tree frogs quite often. They’re cool and cute—their proportions, their big eyes, the way they make giant leaps from complete stillness—it’s like an explosion of energy. And my youngest son is now crazy about the Crazy Frog track.
