Ravaged Flower of the Future

Ravaged Flower of the Future is a triptych of C-print photogram made with sunlight and a sunflower grown with water I gathered from Fukushima after the Daiichi nuclear powerplant disaster. The photograms are placed upon the wall above a pile of burnt sunflower seeds titled, Death's Seedlings.

Chair 1

First of the recent series, Chair 1 is a take on a telephone chair form. It was the first piece in which experimentation with shifting color and incongruous formal relationships was exlpored. The linear parts of the structure are solid steel bar, while the large volume is hollow. The maple seat surface is softened along two edges but kept in close relationship with the adjacent steel surface to allow planes to relate without requiring a direct and logical meeting.

Chair 4

Steel and aluminum chair, the aluminum barely finished with the steel painted two closely related yellow tones, shifting and defining/obscuring parts of the form. 

Chaise

Painted steel and bleached white oak interpretation of a chaise, distilling typical chaise lying/sitting functions into simple planes and shapes with refined connections. Solid steel and wood impart a hardness and density to the parts, while various shades and tints of green confuse the eye, sometimes emphasizing forms sometimes obscuring them.
