The Tent, created for the Indy 500 Festival’s 50th Anniversary was chosen by Indianapolis Magazine at best “New Public Art.”. This video gives a good, if low-res idea of the piece.

There is a new science building at Denver’s Auraria campus, which serves 40,000 students of three universities. I’m making a butterfly with wings made from resin-filled test tubes. It should go up this summer.

I’ll once again be working with Jonquil Le Master, the world’s foremost artificial tree maker to make a grand chandelier for the new Sacramento Airport terminal. It will be a three trunked, moss grown, crystal laden extravaganza, going up in the summer of 2011.

Reno RTC Bus Terminal

Work is underway at our fabricator JUNOWORKS in Denver on the piece to be installed this summer. It is a 1962 GMC “fishbowl” transit bus; We’ve cut it up and put it back together to taper to the back. It’s going to be called “Jackson”–one of the names on the front crawl that came with the bus!

Houston Waterworks

Homeland Security has ruled that the new Houston Waterworks should not b open to the public. So putting my fountain TUBBS! there would be like the tree falling in the forest. The Houston Arts Alliance is committed to building the piece, and is actively searching for a new site. There is much about this that is good news, and I expect to find a great site.

Check out the interview of me by Leslie Kaufman in the November issue of SCULPTURE MAGAZINE. You’ll see a sculpture by my friend Bill King on the cover. We play violin together in the summers.
