Ecology

“My works express my feelings about the planet’s ecological peril. Works from the Ecology series make use of forms that suggest a bird in flight and a sequential progression in a degenerative process. I make use of those materials such as water and wood that are being polluted and destroyed.”

Nuclear War Plans

Nuclear War Plan was a series of five small cubes, on pedestals or wall, exhibited at the International Conference Center, Hiroshima, Japan, in 1998. Cubes are approximately 11x12x10” each, the largest, 16x16x16”. “It was intended to be seen in sequence and ranges from sturdy construction (I and II), to more fragile dice forms (III and IV), to the most fragile dice form (V). In each, I’ve incorporated materials of technology and elements of nature that refer to the chance of life or death, and are a paradox of our world today.”
