Infrastructure
2017
2 cranes, 114” x 78” x 34” each
Wall-mounted sculptures dimensions variable
Steel, barn wood, gears, chains, sprockets, trolleys, rope, pulleys, hooks, blocks, bearings and hand cranks

Infrastucture is an installation of interactive, kinetic sculpture that invites the visitor to a challenge.  Each crane is best operated by three people, encouraging communication and team work amongst the participants. The object is to use the crane to stack the blocks on the scale next to it. When one of the scales out weighs the other, it lowers, pulling on belts and pulleys mounted on the ceiling, This series of events sends the small trolley in the sky across the room as a delightful reward.

Turning the crank of any of the four wall-mounted sculptures smoothly moves the train cars along the wall.

This work represents the massive infrastructure that has been built and is required to move people and products back and forth, and works as a metaphor for the push-pull of interests constantly trying to get their way.

​C.S.E. (Collaborative Stacking Extravaganza!)​ 
2017
Steel, barn wood, gears, chains, sprockets, trolleys, rope, pulleys, hooks, and blocks.
2 cranes, 114” x 78” x 34” each.
C.S.E. (Collaborative Stacking Extravaganza!), challenges viewers both mentally and physically as they work together to operate two towering wood and steel cranes – stylized versions of the ubiquitous machines that punctuate the Seattle skyline. This kinetic engagement, the stacking and arranging of materials, encourages face-to-face communication and grounding in our increasingly fractured world.
