Magic PitcherI’ll be making a sculpture for the new Houston Water Works Museum, which is alongside their new water treatment plant.  They’ve chosen this work, but I’ve got a new idea.  Stay tuned!

I’ll be making a sculpture for the new ballpark where the Indians do their spring training, in Goodyear, Arizona, just outside of Phoenix.  What I’ve proposed is a 60′ tall feather made from aluminum baseball bats.  However, the Arizona Native American Community is not happy with using the feather, a sacred symbol.  I’m thinking about other ideas!  Stay tuned…bat-feather.jpg

Projects

–For Indianapolis, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the INDY 500 Festival, the Festival is giving the city a work of mine.  It will be a passageway tower of metal flags, blowing in the wind, mirrored on the inside, multi-colored on the outside.  Projects underway include two at regional bus terminals in the twin towns of Reno & Sparks, Nevada.reno1.jpg

Leaves of Grass

Hanging from the mesh are about 1000 pounds of glass crystals–many shapes and colors–like a field of wild flowers.  The hospital opened in October.
