The title of this Transdimensional Manifold Array Labyrinthine Projection™, See the
Illusion, is a double-entendre, at first suggesting there’s more to see than the meandering
labyrinth line that is the basis of this work. Secondarily, the title makes reference to the
illusion all around us that everything is “normal” when in fact many feel that the house is
on fire. Who or what is perpetuating this illusion of normalcy? What is the true
relationship between us and the ubiquitous “all-seeing eye”? Click here to see the DETAILED press release. |

Constellation of Makers
kinetic sculpture
7.6m x 2.4m x 2.4m
Functional

Commissioned by the Pacific Northwest College of Art, this kinetic sculpture is made from 13 repeating aluminum arms representing the charter graduates of the applied Craft and Design program at PNCA/OCAC. Each arm has a 9cm glowing globe on one end and an LED on the other. The object fills a 60 sq meter volume, but activates a space many times greater. Truly a beautiful object to behold, it represents the individuallly interconnected nature of human relationships. Created in collaboration with Christina Conant. |
