SPACE—SHIP EARTH

Spaceship Earth Sculptures

I have built these large-scale sculptures for nearly 15 years from recycled wood and other materials for private collections and institutions. They have been on display in Chicago, Cleveland, Joshua Tree, Los Angeles, NYC, San Francisco, and San Jose.

I approach this work similarly to my paintings, where I focus on texture, color, form, and materials. However, my approach differs in that I have to find a balance for how they inhabit the spaces where they are constructed.

Materials & Construction

Repurposed materials are heavily used in my work, and these sculptures are primarily built from found wood or commercial construction waste. They have been built from a mix of: fencing, pine, poplar, OSB, pegboard, plywood, molding, rope, textiles, gap filler, and furniture scraps.

They are always built on location so I can get a sense of the space and how the piece will live within the environment.

PRESS

My sculptures have been featured in a few books: Milk & Honey: Contemporary Art in California curated and authored by Justin Van Hoy for Ammo Press, Art Sells: Installation Design for Retail Spaces published by Sendpoints Publishing, and Brand Spaces published by Gestalten Press.
