"Notorious BIG Spinning Wheels" offers meditation, mesmerization, and whimsy through monumental spinning sculptures.
"Axis Mundi: Resonant Spire" rises from the desert as a 33-foot wooden tower of ever-evolving audiovisual interaction, translating participant voices in both sound and light.
"Aetheric Ascension Tower" carves the silhouettes of human souls into a cone piercing the sky from its roots in the earth.
"Elemental Dragon" emerges as a fractal wooden sculpture, inviting every observer to meet and co-create the mythical creature in collective imagination.
"LOOKOUT!" is a 48-foot fire extinguisher lookout tower, asking us to reckon with the scorching state of our world.
"Above and Below" reminds us of the artistic desire to cultivate spaces of adventure and connectivity in our homes through a beanstalk structure, suspending a glowing Victorian cottage 40 feet in the air.
