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.

I recently completed some pieces for Myhre Group architects for the new Park 19 development on the corner of Glisan and 19th across the street from Couch Park.  We installed the TV cabinet on a nice day with people out lounging on the grass in the park and fallen cherry blossoms carpeting the street with pink.

Im waiting for the so called “geek squad” from Best Buy to install the 50″ plasma.  I didnt know geeks are slow- its taking forever.  Pics will come after they finish install.  Coming soon….
