I worked on a sculpture for the lobby to Ladd Tower which unfortunately fell through at the last minute.  While dissapointed, Im still excited about the concepts I came up with.  I can see these prototypes turning into a huge chandelier someday.

The idea was to create a organic 3 dimensional form using 2 dimensional material.  I found a special wood wall panel product which is more stable than the standard veneer.  The back is paper and paints well.  I experimented with several brands and found this to work the best.  This sample is wenge with red painted on the inside.

Some models in paper of different ideas I had….. Ive been really intrigued with the color red lately because of the experiments I did on this sculpture.

Bummer it didnt happen- but it was fun!  Its so important to keep pushing ahead and exploring regardless of external factors you cant control.
