Floor Marionette #1

Floor Marionette #1, 2016. Wood, concrete and fiberglass, foam, wheels, rope and pulleys. 110 x 71 x 115 in.

In this sculpture as well as with my other interactive, marionette-like pieces, I attempt to bring back movement to seemingly still and permanent architectural structures, while questioning the role of individuals as audience, participators, activators or full manipulators of their space.
